What are you doing to me? Where are you taking me? This is broken music to kidnap someone to – assumedly in a film and not real life, of course.
New Tracks
Dark, gritty and a little bit glitchy. Seems to originate in Berlin – the darkness suggests there is life in the old techno dog over there…though this isn’t quite techno.
Flxk1 & DB1 – B1
Portuguese minimal, sounds very much like you have a plan to carry out for the day, perhaps perfect music for resurfacing roads with a simple melodic pad up and down. Rhadoo is apparently also a fan…he clearly has good taste.
Pandilla LTD – Triangulum Australe
Italo-disco that is almost on the pop side – you’ll need to be in a certain kind of mood for this, a mood of wanting to smile.
Fun Fun – Color My Love
An emotive beauty from the king from the late 90’s which I have totally overlooked. Seems to make more sense in the current troubled context.
Ricardo Villalobos – Heike (Villalobos Mood Mix)
So so good, just a wonderful minimal track with a catchy hook – you’ll know it and I would tell you what track it is from but I’ve totally forgotten. And then when the bass drops in – oh you’ll so wish it wasn’t fucking 2020. I hope you are reading in the future.
Unknown Artist – Untitled B1 [TELUM003]
Mildy acidic breaks meets the trance riff of Meet Her At The Love Parade from Da Hool. Ahhh the Love Parade – it feels like the world needs hundreds of these right now.
DJ Normal 4 – Return Of The Hooligans
Early 2000’s melodic tech-house…about 10 years before it became dull as fuck. A little twisted, almost on the verge of soft electro-house and very much a party-starting kind of anthem. Before its time.
Ferenc – Yes Sir, I Can Hardcore (Michael Mayer Mix)
Dark and foreboding anger over Brexit, all consumed within 7 minutes of breaks and sub-bass. One to feel.
Pangaea – Send It In
This is a bit of a monster really, as you’d expect of something on Livity Sound. Bold with a bassline-led melody, this gets under your skin and under your feet. Quite a beauty.
Forest Drive West – Static
Sometimes I’m like “do we really need a minimal remix of this”, but this time I think we really do need a minimal remix – though this verges more on the deep house side of things but the aspect of minimalism is still there with this edit. Very nice – sunshine is required though.
Don’t think there is an official release of this?
