As the leaves fall from the trees and the summer that briefly graced us with its presence disappears for another year, Join The Dots hit release number nine, one short of two fistfuls, a nine-knuckle-shuffle and a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic. Swapping swiftly from dancefloor vibes to more future thinking we present Background Sound's debut release.
Alberto Hernandez and Andrew Siedenburg are from New York and are on the hunt for a fist full of dollars. The product of an infamous, harsh Big Apple winter they locked themselves away and in "Close" and "Good By You" have created sounds inspired by the steaming drains, towering buildings and back-street alley ways of the self professed city that never sleeps.
Definitely no shrinking violet, London based Blue Daisy fresh from dropping his debut long player on Black Acre, championed by Mary Anne Hobbs and Giles Peterson has turned in a mix that defies categorisation in all the best possible ways. Not just a loose case of slinging around clichés for lack of a better description it's a way of trying to explain a track that flits between the raw and the epic that's laden with bass and pulls at the heart-strings.
Lapalux recently sold out a release on cassette in one hour, despite almost no one apart from our Grandparents owning a tape deck. The latest recruit to Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder empire has graced us with a remix that sits atop of the recent pile of bass music led releases. Playful yet serious it's big in the literal meaning of the term.
Without going on too much more, the final remix on the release comes from our very own Duffstep a man who has contributed more than his fair share of releases to this label. Despite his frequent output, it's possible that even he has outdone himself here with this dancefloor destined beauty.
