BALI (Prod. Darkboy x vvspipes)

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.

Lyrics ;-;
Yuh This lil bitch tripping

She hit me up asking me to come pipe

I do not get why she calling my phone I don't wanna respond she want me act right

I cant let no body cuff me bitch I know my worth sum it up i do not got a price

Niggas be mad cause they bitch want to learn how to skate, but we all know what she wanna ride

I know some niggas that really love hating I pray that you keeping sucking dick till you die

I got like cooler shit Id rather deal with plus I gotta glock I'm too pretty to fight

Niggas talk bout that I'm wack and they beating my ass if they see me it's really on sight

I would advise that you stop talking shit cause the love of your life waiting for my reply

There is not much to see you can go home

Fucking with me cause my sweater say chrome

You hate getting beat up you was just acting grown

Didn't mind company but now I need my home

She a 5/5 but like being hoe

I don't call her a 10 unless she know my code

Damn like too many niggas hit you gotta go

Like i wanted you 17 niggas ago damn

I'm glad I ain't have to pop no one today

 you gotta home to get to and a life to enjoy 

so why did you come to conclusions of dying today? 

Niggas be wanting to beef for no reason just starting to really think niggas is gay

Niggas would see that you happy and doing real good that's their reason to cause ur delay 

Niggas be losing forreal hold on wait that's not it oh it's actually niggas be lame

She wanted me to come over to cuddle at 2 in the am, I'm not playing these games

You really switched up and turned on ya niggas for her when she sucked and saw you the same day

This lil bitch trippin 

she hit me up asking me to come pipe

I do not get why she calling my phone I don't wanna respond she want me act right

I cant let no body cuff me bitch I know my worth sum it up i do not got a price

Niggas be mad cause they bitch want to learn how to skate, but we all know what she wanna 

Ride!

Ride! [prod.tokyoscupo]
