This is the coolest track I’ve heard in a long time, and I stress the definition on cool. Kind of a squelchy space disco vibe and all about someone trying to find his way back to earth through speaking binary to a possible interactive galactical computer.
New Tracks
Melodic and charming minimal track that’s trying to say “come here” through extraneous bleeping. Really nice bassline too.
Ashac – Sigillum Dei
Deeper and glorious house with some hints of background piano, and a vocal about getting to know you. Do get to know this track, it is sublime.
Katerina – Get To Know You (Extended Version)
A groovy, funky disco-ish track with a very recognisable disco sample that my brain just isn’t working out right now. Very, very happy music.
Vincent Caira – Mood
Subtely uplifting and groovy house, with all involved being under-rated house music stars.
Willie Graff & Tuccillo – Give You Up (Chez Damier Interpretation)
I’m not normally a fan of drum’n’bass but this has an older jungle feel to it, with really high production values that you’d expect from Forest Drive West.
Forest Drive West – Ruins
A slowly growling track, on the softer side of techno, yet still quite pulsating
Feph – Settlement Research
I’m not sure if I hate this or love this, the track itself has a certain tension, verging between minimal and tech-house – but then the vocal goes “you get a two, you get a two, you get a two…five” which makes no sense. Yet I do like it.
Alexander Skancke – You Get A Two
Of course this has been around forever – not far off 30 years which is scary. But it’s just such a powerful track, really a future version of techno from back when Richie Hawtin was really pushing techno.
Richie Hawtin – Minus/Orange 1
Pumping, proud and positive house music, with vocal snippets to get you moving. Track has been around for a while, but I’m letting it feel me more and more.
Taka Boom & Chaka Khan – Groove Like That (Onionz Remix)
I really like this whole EP, and will be getting it on vinyl as soon as I can. Maybe it is the Croydon coming out in me, but the grime-like lyrics over a broken-beat slower techno track is unusual and really flipping good.
Ben Klock & Fadi Mohem – Our Sector
A really quite tough and chunky beat, a real kick to the kick-drum and a squelch to it too, feels like late 90’s tech-house.
