Blair French - Space Time Curvature
Part of "The Art Of Us"
RSD-LP001 Rocksteady Disco double LP, cassette, digital, streaming

The Art Of Us (TAOU) begins with the story of Blair French, a cosmic messenger raised in a house of 7 on the outskirts of a historic city. From dancing at mom's disco parties at a young age, to releasing rap tapes in middle school, winning best soundtrack for the multi-award-winning film DETROPIA and hitting the Billboard charts with his Pure Sounds of Michigan compilation; ultimately French found a home in the world of all things Detroit, Pan-African, Balearic, and ambient. TAOU is his first instrumental LP under his own name, (despite a 25 year career), bringing together his closest musical compatriots.

Blair's diverse production shines on this immersive 14 track release, transcending organic/electronic, uptempo/downtempo, and light/dark, tapping in heavyweight characters including Pathe Jassi, John Arnold, Craig Huckaby, Todd Modes, Kaylan Waterman, Peter Croce, Eddie Logix, Paul Randolph, 2040, Michael Jurczak and more.

Sonically, TAOU holds peak-hour Deep Cosmic Afro House freak outs ("Faded By The Sun", "Celebration Ritual", "F O A", "Chest Drum"), blunted beatdown cuts ("Stay Detroit", "Jeans", "Drop Ceiling Shuffle", "River Crossing"), and soulful R&B and Afrobeat compositions ("Honey Rooftops", "Genes", "Space Time Curvature").

Mastered by Atjazz, the vinyl is cut loud to lacquer by Carl at Trutone, and pressed with love at Archer on the east side of Detroit. It includes a double sided full color art insert with lyrics on the flip side.

HSM PREMIERE | Blair French - Space Time Curvature [Rocksteady Disco ]

After gracing labels like Omena Records, ANMA Records, Banoffee Pies Records and Tusk Wax, Rome's SofaTalk lands on Monologues with fellow Italian and upcoming talent , XL Regular in tow. Together they cook up an EP of loungey deep house and intricate broken beat, all laced with the live instrumentation that has made SofaTalk's catalogue so recognisable. 

Sweet keys, muted trumpets, jazzy guitar licks and warm live bass abound. Label boss Ben Gomori delivers a hazy house rework of 'While She Sleeps' which is best accompanied by a balmy beach, and an uncharacteristic jungle work out of 'Jaws' because... lockdown makes / made people do unusual things.

Digging: Auntie Flo, Carista, TSHA, Bill Brewster, Simbad, Fred P, Alma Negra, DJ Aakmael, FSQ, Aroop Roy, Joshua James, Souldynamic, Horse Meat Disco, Tereza, Clandestino, Loz Goddard, Harri, Beraber, Sondrio...

DC Promo Tracks #669: "Trife Lite" by POOLS is part of the release "Sunned" on Razor-N-Tape @razor-n-tape  

Buy Now: https://razor-n-tape.bandcamp.com/merch/rntr033-pools-sunned-lp-12-vinyl-sticker-continuous-dj-mix 

Picking up where their previous RNT outing ‘Innertubes’ left off, Thee Mike B and DJ Morse Code crafted the 12 tracks of Sunned by layering found and filtered sounds over rough’n’ready MPC beats, dripping with delay and vibey ambience. From smooth head-nodding soul, to more boogiefied breaks and a healthy helping of that melancholic and dreamy approach that the duo does so well, each track boasts its own unique soundscape and structure. But taken together as a collective listen, this record has a hypnotic, zoned-out and sun-drenched quality that is...well, unmistakably POOLS.

DC Promo Tracks #669: POOLS "Trife Lite"

Full on freshness from the Outplay camp with the ‘Surr Rendez-Vous ’ EP.  It's  the labels 13th release and it comes with a powerful serving from Russian team Scruscru & Meowsn. Both these guys have some pretty cool outings under their belt on SlothBoogie, Nómada, Nurvous & Star Creature Universal Vibrations.
 
On this sparkling  four tracker you’ll experience a patchwork of creative sampling, wonky jazz chords and powerful synth melodies with a sprinkling of tongue-in-cheek!  These cuts will make you reminisce over the rise of the loose beat and broken house of a few years back, while working in an oh so contemporary way.

The second release by Moondance on Local Talk is Moondance's own theme, 'The Moon Dance'.

It is the perfect blend between house and techno, carefully dipped into a pot with equal parts of forward thinking Detroit style and organic house mixed together. It's music from a visionary producer.
