In just a short space of time and with but a few releases, Berlin based Brit Jay Donaldson has carved out his own house style. Referencing old school Chicago nostalgia whilst coming laden with analogue textures and jacked up beats, his sounds have come in the form of a couple of EPs on Lobster Theremin and are soon to be released on a debut EP for Dekmantel (out on March 16). His In Gold EP features three more spiritual house cuts with crisp percussion and elastic basslines, cosmic synths and heartfelt pads that have real purpose. Ahead of that, though, he serves up the next instalment in our podcast series. 

Starting with some deep, melodic house music the mix then smoothly transitions through some tropical sounding beats and painfully emotive vocal grooves that being to pick up the pace.  Classics like No Smoke’s 1989 cut ‘Koro Koro’ then proves Palms Trax digs deep for his musical nuggets as he journeys through hip house, Latin inflected broken beat and more experimental and harder hitting fare in the final section. The style is considered and cerebral, the music is lush and evocative and the selections are brave and fresh. As such, this is a subtly stirring mix that will awaken your week in the nicest of ways.

We've got the great honour of having Metro Area's Darshan Jesrani present us with this week's Monday Is OK mixtape who takes us down paths less travelled to ease us into this rather grey beginning to the week and bring some much needed sunshine into our lives. Get it on here while we "cover the waterfront" with him here; http://www.theransomnote.co.uk/music/mixes/darshan-jesrani-monday-is-ok-ransom-note-mix/

Sound Metaphors Mix Series 33 : Good Block

Live recording taken from our 3 hour opening set ahead of Or:la and Sonja Moonear at FOLD earlier this year. We loved this party and feel the recording has done a nice job of capturing the energy in the room that night.

It’s crammed with tracks we’re feeling right now, leaning into our minimal collection but spanning plenty of genres and moods, with some new & unreleased material from both of us.
