for michigander s fifth release, brian kage delivers four solid dance-floor fillers, each infused with a unique blend of melodic detroit soul, intelligent acid and perfectly mixed percussion. each offering teleports the listener into a future where social distancing has finally abated and celebration can commence. lockdown starts the record off with undulating 303 bass notes that groove around in a circular arpeggiated formation until hypnotic 909 percussion breaks through with echoing claps and weaves together a tale of futuristic tension building. hold on pain ends features a stabbing analog synth-line that repeats a half-beat phrasing contrasted with slamming technical percussion, a heavy kick and a lush pad that is perfect for late nights in a warehouse. that woman from michigan contains gentle swinging upbeat percussion and deep soothing chords with samples of governor whitmer asking all michiganders to do their part and join together in solidarity. a subtly modulating acid line builds tension into a perfectly resonating crescendo. f.u covid19 - an ominous swelling pad rips across the dystopian horizon as swinging rimshots build around a deep pulsing kick and a dirty mono synth swirl. echoing vocal samples punctuate this acidic frenzy until the tension falls away giving dancers an opportunity to catch their breath before the next round of infectious rhythmic groove forces the hypnotic spell to intensify.
part 2. light infusions is the result of a long distillation process that led to a collection of eight tracks, four of which are collaborations between hydergine and relevant dub / deep techno artists: audub, luke hess, merv, and mikkel metal. the intention of the project is to provide a listening experience of extended playtime and timeless fruition, that entails a coherent and mature artistic vision. a beatless / downtempo introduction makes way to seven 4/4 tracks characterized by floating, emotional, and refined aesthetics. the different infusions present reminiscent dub moods, from introspective and melancholic to more powerful and uplifting. various shades of the emotional spectrum reverberate magically and effectively during the entire tracklist, inducing a dreamy and mind-altering effect.
every so often public release takes a snapshot along their discography timeline, to pause and recognize the various artists that represent the past, present and future of where the label sits. the last such release was in 2016, and four years, twelve releases later it’s time for another marker. this ep pools together six exclusive tracks from their global family, some on the pr roster for the very first time. from the beautifully addictive melodies by tendts and metropolitan soul museum, brooding baselines and synths from richard sen and tim sweeney, to the ecstatic floor energy produced by fran-key and earth boys, the range presented here is impressive. equally enjoyable as an abbreviated album, or as singular tracks at your service.
repress 2020, purveyor of fine disco grooves and future funk, ron basejam, returns to futureboogie with the bustling 5 track ep, after the rain. having already contributed some key releases and remixes to the label, from his 2016 collaboration with neil diablo, his first class remix of the white lamps its you to his stellar productions as part of crazy p, basejam gets right down to business across all five cuts. rhodes keys glide over soulful vocals and a frenetic percussive workout on after the rain as elegant soaring strings lift the atmosphere perfectly. a raw and stripped back bass and drum funkfest shapes the french exit, whilst on raise, a heavy synth riff breaks out over tom-laden beats and uplifting vox. the quality never drops as further excursions into soulful street vibes are dished out across jacobs chair and the positively energetic euphoria of after the sun. an ep packed with many different shades of ron basejams continually on point productions, this is a must for lovers of the boogie!
