Feral One Records is truly living up to its namesake in 2023.

Following the release of Creating Space, the epic, 17-track LP from FO boss Longstocking, the label is going even more feral with the 18-track compilation, Seattle Volume 2.

Simply put, with these two releases back-to-back, no one can possibly attempt to deny the value and vitality of Seattle’s dance music community.

The scene is strong. The scene is diverse, and Seattle Volume 2 demonstrates this truth with a connective tissue of serene melodies (and one foghorn tech house banger, but those are still welcome on the dancefloor).

Whether it be a melodic bassline like that found in Leon The Lover’s “Show Up,” the rhythmic melodies of Tony H’s “With The Guys” or the string serenades of Snapdragon’s “What Is Closure Anyway,” these artists are using sound to share their stories, and though each story is different, they all start in the same city.

Longstocking, of course, makes an entry into the compilation, this time with a classic soaring house tune entitled “Skip,” that slowly builds from tight-knit beginnings into a lush and infectious groove. The name of the song is apt given its placement as the second track on compilation—almost immediately communicating that none of the 18 pieces of music to come are skippable.

Breaks are essential to the Feral One catalog, and so there are more than a few offerings of the breakbeat variety including “Luna” by Miss Min.D which finds its sense of melody in the spaces between the drums. Blipping and bopping around different pieces of sound design like a spaceship flying through a musical asteroid field.

But Feral One, and the city of Seattle, are, at their core, unbound by genres and other such restrictions. That sense of freedom comes into form on “Call It By Name” by Hanssen. Whatever “rules” anyone attached to electronic music up until now do not matter. The unchained rhythms and drum patterns defy any sense of cohesion, and yet it’s that defiance that solidifies the track.

In truth, that defiance is what solidifies the entire compilation and the scene to which it is dedicated.

Locked In / Sterile Spring is the latest release from Bloom's Taxonomy's forthcoming album 'Foley Age'. This atmospheric electronic track starts in the claustrophobic confines of the subconscious, and transitions into epic space age techno.

SPACE/TIME

'Imaginary Angles' is the second release from the upcoming album 'Foley Age', Bloom's Taxonomy's first full length record. Starting as a spacious electronic ambient track, it gradually gathers energy, taking you on a euphoric space age road trip. The B-Side 'Head of Mithras' is a frantic and occasionally claustrophobic homage to everyone's favourite mischievous pre-christian deity.

Imaginary Angles

'Mount Bromo' is the first single from Bloom's Taxonomy's forthcoming full length album 'Foley Age'. Its unique musical palette fuses a gamelan - a traditional Balinese instrument which uses a completely alien tonality and scale from those familiar to western ears - and Bloom's Taxonomy's signature electronic beats and synths to produce a transportive ambient electronic track. The B-Side, 'United Nations Bicycle Parking' is a soothing, atmospheric synth/field recording soundscape.
