Love Breaks [GOMA VA 001]

Having been steadily absorbing the flowery humidity in steamy spa towns of central Florida since his debut outing Chillax, Floridian $1 house music purveyor Blair Sound Design aka Kyle Lyon emerges into the Lobster forest with all 16-bit brass and duvet filters blazing.

Taking inspiration from late 80's and early 90's bargain bin finds, as well as a lifetime spent strapped to Game Boy classic Kirby's Dream Land, Console Humidity finds Lyon on classically chipper yet introspective form, carving a path well trodden but that is unmistakeable his own. 

In his own words, the EP follows a loose narrative reflecting on the ebb and flow of ones mental state throughout any given day: where it lies as you wake, go about your day, meditate, stress, and rush about a busy unrecognisable city. Every console has its processing limits, and people are very much the same. Hopefully this collection strikes a balance between introspection and peace as it does rhythmic propulsion and face-screwing mirth. 

From the digital emotive-ambient transients of RNG Therapy, to the deep brooding house grumble of Silph Scope, the happy-go-lucky swagger and jazzy keys of Startup Tool, and the bizarre & comedic pandemonium of Overheated - Console Humidity is a lesson in life, a jump onto a surface of unknown dimensions, a conversation in practice and a method of practicing conversation. It is singular journey with real warmth and rough edges and an extra shot to give your day that little kick to get you going.

SEEKING ARRANGEMENT

NAME: Drew Briggs AKA Divine Interface AKA WiFi _daddy
LOCATION: Atlanta, GA
SEEKING: Casual but intimate encounters
LIFESTYLE BUDGET: Broke but not broken
DESCRIPTION: Lonely but never alone

Conversations from a bathroom stall. Greetings shouted across the dance floor. Lines whispered in your ear at the bar. These are just a few of the audible vignettes that make up Drew Briggs’ (AKA Divine Interface) latest EP, Seeking Arrangement. Briggs is our steadfast narrator throughout, offering thoughtful meditations on love, time, and what we do with them. He may suspect that love and romance are transactions, but it’s not that bleak: on Seeking Arrangement, he’s making collages with the receipts.

This was the ethos behind Briggs’ decision to name his latest release after the leading sugar baby dating site. Seeking Arrangement is both a nod to his native Atlanta (home to the largest sugar baby population in the country) and a playful commentary on the state of modern romance. Briggs, it turns out, is well-acquainted with the subject - a fixture in the local DJ scene by night and an employee of a sex furniture distributor by day, he’s built a life around helping people get down.

Briggs’ second release as Divine Interface (and first on 2MR) plunges the listener directly into his nightly routine - from club to afterparty to cab ride home. This effort is aided in part by his somewhat unorthodox creative process - most of the album was recorded in his bed, where he set up his equipment to encourage himself to work in the tired hours between gigs and shifts. As a result, the freshness of the material is palpable; the subject matter thoroughly lived-in. It makes perfect sense, after all, for an album about romance to be born between the sheets. Full of field notes from a night well spent, this is bedroom hip-hop done by someone who’s hardly home.

Perhaps this is because home, for Briggs, extends beyond his four walls. The city of Atlanta is the boisterous backdrop of this record, making appearances both literally, as in fellow ATL artist Fit Of Body’s appearance on “Sometimes,” and sonically, in Briggs’ unique fusion of the local hip-hop and electronic scenes. “In The Back” is a sleazy dance floor banger, while “Slide Piece” is a liquid-smooth after party groove. Lines blur across genre in the same way that hours seem to after a few drinks: “it’s getting late,” he muses on lead single “So Fine,” “but she don’t believe in time.”

Drew Briggs has never been a sugar baby, but he passes no judgment on the lifestyle. After all, aren’t all relationships transactional in a way? If it’s not money being traded, it’s social status, access, validation, emotional support, etc. Whether we’re aware of it or not, we make tacit agreements and set expectations. In other words, we seek arrangements.

Buddy Lembeck - Surrounded By Enemies On All Sides (Analog Remaster) [TR4R]

We are happy to say that French Press Lounge is back in action with the latest from Orlando's own Blair Sound Design, a four tracker aptly titled "4-In-1."

Kyle Lyon has had a wee obsession with the history and spoils of bootleg ephemera within and surrounding underground dance culture, video games, and consumerist visual culture at large. Whether it be an absurdly good unlicensed remix on a mysterious white label, an old RPG soundtrack from a long-defunct NES game developer or a remarkably "bad" utilization of classic house tropes, there lies a beguiling sense of charm and humanness in such things appropriated with creativity and love for the medium.

Returning under the Blair Sound Design name after releasing "Console Humidity" in 2018 with Lobster Theremin, Lyon begins to unload the multitude of sketches and tracks from the last 4 years that aim to explore and marry the crossover point of classic house stylings and illegal instances of entertainment technology. "4-In-1" is perhaps the most tool oriented selection in this coming wave, with a focus on wildly, loosely swung percussive maneuvers, scant use of melody, a drop of piano chords, decidedly busted sampling mechanics and big emphasis on his signature "8-Bit 808" sub-bass, culled from the Nanoloop Mono synthesizer cartridge using his own DMG-01 Gameboy handheld game system.

Rough, ready, and kind of annoying: "4-In-1" feels like an honest attempt to celebrate and crystallize the nascent thrill of electronic (re)production in an age of technological democratization and a culture obsessed with the notion of authenticity and the self, inherent or fabricated. As was once said,

"You see, HOUSE is a FEELING...."
"House Music ALL Night Long!!!"
"Ooo, baby!"

Out digitally May 1st; limited-edition of 41 hand-dubbed cassettes to follow.

Thank you for absolutely all of your ears and support of the only things keeping us alive: love and music <3
