Neptunian Influence, Fifty-Eight | Featuring @timothy-j-fairplay

To celebrate 6 years in the Great Dark Spot, we've invited one of our favorite producers to conjure the soundscape for this momentous storm. Timothy J. Fairplay has long evoked a visionary sound that we are pleased to bring to this mix series. The producer has prepared an hour of wavy electro, house and industrial directly from his studio by the North Sea. 

This month you can catch Tim DJing in Italy's city of Chieti and playing live at the Golden Lion in Todmorden in the UK. This year he has releases coming on @italo_moderni, @disco-frisco as well as a new album on his @dungeon-module imprint.

Another Dungeon Module Production!!!

‘Rule The Streets’ is Timothy “J” Fairplay’s latest album on his label Dungeon Module. After 2021’s ‘A Snowstorm In The Tropics’, 2023 has been a busy year for the label. In February Timothy released ‘Dungeon Module Volume 1’ followed by ‘I Lay Awake At Night Scheming’ in August.

This album was recorded in Timothy’s current studio, with his Casio RZ-1 central to the set up. 8 raw jack tracks inspired by the early days of house music, and catches Timothy at his most minimal. The early days of the Chicago and Detroit and how they drew influence from Europe in their stripped back sound is an endless influence on Timothy’s work. The bumpy opener ‘Rule The Streets’ has a vocal refrain which sounds like something from a 70’s gang movie. ‘Insufficient Funds’ is a playful jam based around a junk shop delay unit. ‘Pleasure Beach’ an 8 bit house/funk beat track. ‘Back To The Stone Age’ with its flanger heavy percussion and a booming Adonis style vocal. Side B starts with ‘Instant Replay’ with its rolling 808 toms and white noise intro. ‘Safety Patrol’ has a deeper Mr Fingers feel, followed by the stalker-ish ‘Gang Bass’ with its sampled live bass and strings. Last of all is ‘Livin’ It Up’ made entirely with the sampler on the RZ-1 sounding like a Lil Louie demo.

Cassette and Digital. Like previous releases on Dungeon Module the cassette version comes in a cool 80s computer game/90’s rave tape pack style case.

Is it reality or is it an illusion? With Neptune, it is hard to tell. Neptune's influence reaches further than the ordinary senses, so there may be aspects of extrasensory perception at work. Illusion, fantasy and dreams are the playing field here, and the spirit is the primary force. Leading to all things mysterious, Neptune's watery depths are associated with dreams, visions, and the imagination.
