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.

Robin Schulz - Waves (carleeto® Afro House Remix) Extended Mix

[Refrain]
Absolute, I long for you
A girl to a dream come absolute 
I need you so to keep me absolute 
I long for you 
So to keep me absolute

[Intro]
Nah, forget the power drive
Need something real to feel alive
Not chasing some mad dream come true
Just wanna build it solid with you
Oh yeah, understand?

[Verse 1]
Knew your brother, down the pub
Shared mates, same music dub
Seen you knackered, seen you ace
Know the stories on your face
Yeah, we clicked, no big surprise
Saw the realness in your eyes
Not some stranger, lit up bright
Just you, right here, in plain sight.

[Build-up 1]
This ain't no guess, no lucky dip
Got history right on my lip
It's solid ground beneath my feet
This feeling's proper, can't be beat
For real... yeah, for real!

[Hook 1]
(Yeah!) I love ya
(Oi!) I love ya
(True!) Swear down, I love ya
(Yeah!) Know what? I love ya

(Yeah!) I love ya
(Oi!) I love ya
(True!) Swear down, I love ya
(Yeah!) Know what? I love ya

[Verse 2]
Remember nights, just ships passing by?
Quick glance, fake smile, spirits high
All strobe lights and a heavy bass
Never really knew the face
That stuff's electric, fades so fast
Wanted something built to last
Not just a buzz, a weekend spree
Something grounded, you and me.

[Build-up 2]
No more whispers, words of clay
That vanish with the light of day
This ain't no fling, no paramour
It's what I know, I'm pretty sure
For keeps... yeah, for keeps!

[Hook 2]
(Safe!) I love ya
(Bruv!) I love ya
(Yeah!) Honest, I love ya
(Right!) You know I love ya

(Yeah!) I love ya
(Oi!) I love ya
(True!) Swear down, I love ya
(Yeah!) Know what? I love ya

[Verse 3]
Check it, yeah, forget the drama, the big show
It's knowing where your Nan likes to go
It's arguing 'bout who takes the bins out
Sharing chips when you're feeling down and out
Not some story, perfect scene
More like Tuesdays, watching screen
Knowing your takeaway order, spot on
That's the rhythm, the baseline we're built upon
Passing fancies? Nah, they're thin
This is proper, from within
Shared jokes that no one else would get
This connection, ain't broke it yet. Sorted.

[Hook 3]
(Real!) I love ya
(Sound!) I love ya
(Yeah!) Through and through, I love ya
(Boss!) Dead right, I love ya

[Outro]
(Love ya) Yeah, I love ya
(Love) Proper
(Love ya) You know it
(Love) Solid
(Love ya) And I love ya
(Love) Yeah
(Love ya) Just you
(Love) For real
(Love ya) And I love ya
(Love) Swear down
(Love ya)
(Love) I love ya
