Vanity Project @ Voices Radio 22/09/22

Ancient Future Now reaches the jinxed number 013 and welcomes Matt Bruce aka Vanity Project to their circles for necessary celebratory exercitations. Matt is also known for flooding the subcultures with tasteful housey explorations via his own label Claptrap, and tasteful housey explorations he does bring here indeed. Juicy poly synths, thick piano chord loops, rubbery 303s, phat claps - you name it, it’s all in there! But don’t be fooled by these attributes, which basically constitute any given classic house track - this is not some arbitrary ordinary sleep house. It’s delicately arranged, on point and very… Vanity Project! And yes, of course, it’s groovy like hell! We thought that goes without saying.

The EP is rounded off by two very different and very fun remixes by bestie armada RSS Disco and Conga Fever. The former pull all the stops of their beloved summer festival DJ sets and create a disco house beast, that sounds like a love-child of LCD Soundsystem and Prins Thomas. The latter invites us to a supremely tasteful downtempo dub house excursion, including melting organ chords, acoustic drum grooves and dreamy guitar melodies.

Vanity Project - 22/11/24 - [Voices Radio]

As 2024 wraps up, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible year we've had at SOULMEEX. We couldn’t let it pass without celebrating in style!

Of course, with Tom Banks, better known as Donald Dust, who emerged on the electronic music scene in 2017 with his debut EP, Dazzle Ship, released on No Bad Days. His music draws from a vibrant mix of golden-era italo synths, WBMX radio mixes, Ron Hardy-style drum tracks, and the early sounds of eurodisco-influenced house. This distinct mix of retro and modern elements quickly earned him recognition, with subsequent releases on Bordello A Parigi and the Edinburgh-based label Paradise Palms further showcasing his evolving style.
 
In 2018, Donald Dust launched his own label, Enter Planet Dust, debuting with the Mars R-Trax 7". The release, inspired by modular synth experiments, vintage sound effects, and disco drum grooves, highlighted his knack for crafting genre-bending DJ tools. That same year, he began a residency at Edinburgh’s Paradise Palms, hosted the Other Thumpers radio show on EH-FM, and performed across the UK, Europe, and the U.S. His 2019 EP, Fluorescent Music solidified his reputation, combining italo-tinged burners, sci-fi-inspired soundscapes, and experimental synth work. 

Since then, he has released 12”s with Bordello a Parigi, Wilson Records and Blaq Numbers, plus tracks and remixes on esteemed labels such as Toy Tonics and SlothBoogie, continuing to explore new directions in electronic music while staying true to his roots.
 
A passionate collector of records since childhood, Donald balances his studio work with DJing, and remains committed to create music that bridges the nostalgic energy of past decades with fresh, contemporary sounds.
