Another really classy minimal groove by a man on form, S.A.M. Rather like sweeping gently through the city skyscape on a magic carpet, this is quite blissful at times.

I pondered for a while whether I really liked this or just liked the idea of it.
But it does work really well, it is subtle enough. Sadly the full-length version has been taken down so this small length will have to do you.
Delirium – Silence (Lumieux Remix)
Packed full of gentle, subtle beauty – perfect for starting a night with.
Denis Kaznacheev – Cheerful Gait to The Wicked Witch
Hypnotic chugger that could just be played and played and played forever.
Andrey Zots – Ty El (Rhadoo Remix)
A quick flashback to the original mid-2000’s minimal days when Loco Dice was smashing things at Circo Loco and this chuggy, minimal sound was the coolest thing around – this is an overlooked track in my opinion and deserves some more attention.
Daniel Taylor – M.O.R.D. (Loco Dice Remix)
This gave me that kind of sicky coming up feeling, with its low tones of emotion – quite sad and mournful yet hopeful at the same time – and a wonderful cut back in of the beat.
Fathers & Sons Productions – FAS Souls
Controversial but Dependent And Happy is my favourite Villalobos album. There is so much undiscovered beauty in it including this spaced out dreamy taxi-beeping New York trip. Even more controversial – the track is less than 5 minutes long.
Ricardo Villalobos – Ferenc
Dependent And Happy is such an under-rated album, so full of beauty and wonder that it is easy to overlook certain tracks, which for me, this has been an overlooked beauty – full of delicate charm and a gruff German vocal line that I am happy to never know what it means.
Ricardo Villalobos – Das Leben Ist So Anders Ohne Dich
A sombre, gloomy track – almost perfect to play towards the end of a wonderful drug-fuelled holiday in Ibiza. With enough serotonin depletion, this would make you cry.
Alex & Digby – Crowhurst
It never fails to amaze me how you can listen to a track once, think it is ok, then listen again and think it is amazing. Maybe it is because I’ve recently seen an excellent set by Melodie – this track is a warm, gentle bassline-friendly groover.
Melodie – Justa
iO (Mulen) are putting out a rash of really good minimal tracks and this is the pick of them for me, it has quite a lot of energy for a minimal track and grooves along very nicely.
