Crustation were a short-lived trip-hop group with ties to Portishead and Massive Attack; their 1997 single "Flame" was a perfectly nice, totally innocuous, and mostly forgettable contribution to the drowsy downbeat catalog. The journeymen producers Mood II Swing put their characteristically light, funky touch on a club-friendly remix of the song, as they did hundreds of times during their run as New York's most dependable remixers. But Mood II Swing also had a murkier, more abstracted side; you can hear it in productions like "Move Me," "The Slippery Track," and the eerie "Inhale," which sounds like Gary Numan's "Cars" being sucked through a Teflon wormhole. But they outdid themselves on the "Borderline Insanity Dub" of "Flame," lacing a skipping, proto-U.K.-garage beat with hiccupping vocal loops and a lithe, shadowboxing bass line; the icing on the cake comes courtesy of a swirling fog of vocal harmonies that pans from speaker to speaker. Running out of phase with the beat, it lends a sense of tidal ebb-and-flow, throwing the time deliriously out of joint. The fact that Mood II Swing never produced anything else quite like it only makes this fluid, enveloping tune all the more irreplaceable. P.S.

PREMIERE | Floow - Spotlight  [Axiom]

En todo este camino como DJ y productor he lanzado muchos sets, tracks y colaboraciones, pero este álbum es distinto.
Es el proyecto más personal que he hecho hasta ahora.

No solo por el sonido —que va desde el deep house hasta llegar al melodic techno con una propuesta más madura y experimental— sino por lo que representa para mí.

Este disco está dedicado a una persona muy especial
Sin ti, este álbum no existiría. Me motivaste, me retaste a llevar cada idea más allá, y fuiste parte de todo el proceso, incluso creando la portada.
Te gustó tanto como a mí, y eso me hizo saber que lo hicimos bien.

Puedo decir que este es el trabajo más importante de mi carrera hasta ahora.
Puse todo de mí: mente, corazón y alma.
Y tú, de alguna forma, también estás en cada track.

Ahora es momento de compartir lo que logro nuestra amistad con el mundo entero

Hoy anuncio con orgullo el lanzamiento de:
Love Uplift Call You

Souls Connected, Forever

The voyage would take quite some time. The journey would be long but in the end it would all be worth it. As they left their little island they wondered what lay beyond the wild seas. Just like their forefathers who had come before they would travel to unchartered lands, seeking out prosperity, hope and wonder. As the sun set behind them upon their old home they did not look back, for there was to be no reflection on the past and time was of the essence.

Janeret is just one of an array of artists who are set to appear on a brand new compilation being presented by Illusion Recordings. Norm Talley, Keith Worthy and many more also feature.

'Corona Cookin' is a video series I started at the beginning of the quarantine to share my studio process. It's been a fun project which has energized my creativity with realtime feedback, and also kept me sane. 

By popular demand, I'm sharing the track from the most recent episode. Enjoy! 🔥
