The long-awaited single 'A Jewel Within A Teardrop' off of Mike midnights debut EP on Pneumatic is out now.

"A Jewel Within A Teardrop is a musical journey into the present, using experiences of the past. The project is filled with rap tropes, strings, and fragmented R&B acapellas that gesture at the artist’s own musical lineage."

Memories of this track being dropped by Mike Midnight at our Pneumatic 04 party are still very fresh in our minds the amount of emotion this track carries to the dance floor is amazing, we hope you experience what we felt that night listening to it.

sampled ML Buch's song "O", loved the guitar melody a lot so did some work with it. I will remove it if there's any copyright issue.

ML Buch - O (Zean Edit)

bambinodj’s ‘lost riddim’ finds itself navigating a fog-cloaked, otherworldly expanse. It’s a tune designed to freeze time in the late hours, fusing chain-reacted rhythmic mechanics with slow-drifting synth eddies and spectral dancehall vocals plucked from the ether. It’s blue-light music, raw sapphire refracted and refined through clubspace mist.

‘lost riddim’ opens our forthcoming ‘Performance Enhancers’ compilation. It sits alongside music by DJ RISH, Jetty, and PELLE ROCK.

‘Performance Enhancers’ drops March 25th on TT.

bambinodj - lost riddim

Taken from the first VA on TT label since 2014, the enigmatic Berlin producer offers a fiercely forward-facing take on FDM.

The water felt solid like earth beneath his feet as the distance grew between his body and the shore. The horizon seemed concrete to him and he christened it his destination, not stopping until his lips could kiss the sky and ocean's joining. The water caressed his feet, and flirted with the lower half of his legs. His mind was occupied by feeling, not thought. He breathed in the air. The air breathed him.

This track is one of two contributions by bambinodj to the 'Performance Enhancers' VA, compiled by the label co-run by DJ Pitch and Kast.  Released as a single last month, 'lost riddim' is difficult to decipher. So close, yet somehow so distant to the stylistic tropes commonly associated with the dancehall genre, a suggestion of spectral vocals float above razor-sharp percussion in an exploration of space and depth.

'august FDM' sees bambinodj pursue this endeavour. In a way that departs from the standard tropes of FDM (AKA Flex Dance Music, a dark, bass-heavy genre hailing from Brooklyn) Dancehall vocals are subordinated to genre-defining laser-like blips that dominate the track before being swept up by blissed-out arpeggios. Strange and dreamy.
