The Spatial Touch Show

Off-kilter house producer Goose Down (Micah Smith) returns with a refreshing nine-song album 'Material Needs.' This follows his well-received 2023 EP 'Neatfreaks' which garnered support from BBC radio, NTS and niche corners of the global DJ community.

'Material Needs' revives bits of the lowlit soul-psychedelia from 'Neatfreaks' and the jazzy, vapory palette from his 'Mind Rinse' release. It contains a variety of expansive, groove-oriented jams influenced by old-school house and RnB.

The album kicks off with the upbeat 'Groundwork' followed by the smooth, yet wonky 'Love Is', a french touch-inspired sample chop gliding above a dusty rhythm. The mood thickens with the understated spell cast by 'Innergy' and 'See it All' both providing a steady backbeat under meditative vocal grooves. A more urgent tone is struck with the temperamental 'Think Tank' and the album ends with the warm, organic nourishment of 'Material Needs'

The surreal sounds will please dance floors and headphone-dwellers alike. Micah Smith showcases his usual affinity for detail and ear candy while keeping grooves simple and effective. 

'Material Needs' was produced, mixed, and mastered by Micah in his studio. Check it out at spatialtouch.com.

Goose Down | February 2022 vinyl mix

Goose Down is the electronic dance project of Los Angeles producer Micah Smith. His love for independent house music, disco funk soundscapes, and vaporwave absurdity shines through on this six-song EP 'Mind Rinse' released on his label Spatial Touch.

'Mind Rinse' was created in 2021. It's as much of an antidote to anxiety as one could muster during isolated times. Not necessarily an all-out dance floor killer, the music is reflective and smooth yet upbeat. It leans on the refreshing faux-jazz sounds of early 90s pop while keeping a distinct foot in Micah's signature playful weirdo-futurism moods.

Most songs feature guest musicians and members of Spatial Touch collective Joel Stanton and Tamir Rawlings who graciously provided extra synth layers, chopped vocals, and warm textures on all but a couple songs. The album is available digitally and on cassette. As an exclusive bonus, two extra hidden tracks are included with all bandcamp album purchases.

Mind Rinse

Goose Down - Rock Salt Grind

Goose Down - Good Grease

Goose Down returns with a prompt follow-up to his October 2022 oddball release 'Mind Rinse.' The 'Neatfreaks' EP is a collection of four engaging dance tracks with roots in house, soul, hip hop and jazz. All songs were produced solely by Micah Smith in his Los Angeles studio.

Listeners will be nourished by abstract sounds of warm psychedelia built into a classic house framework. Influences include producers like Moodymann, Daft Punk, Motor City Drum Ensemble, J Dilla and Timbaland. Detailed sampling and intricate, contrasting musical elements make this an album that deeply rewards repeat listens while providing an instantly accessible flow for dance floors of various genres.

'Neatfreaks' will be released digitally on January 13th, 2023 on Los Angeles label Spatial Touch. Enjoy some groovy warmth in the depths of winter.
