Profile

I love: downtempo, deep house, acid jazz, trip hop, rare grooves, IDM, abstract hip hop. Not a DJ, just an obsessive collector. How cool is that, eh?

By the way, if you're interested in something from my collection, I suggest haunting eBay.

posted a review of St Germain-en-Laye* - Mezzotinto EP. 3 months ago
St. Germain’s MEZZOTINTO starts with “My Mama Said,” pretty much a thesis for his musical style. From the blues vocal sample that launches the track to the jazz percussion that rolls in and to the house beat that kicks things into high gear, it feels... See full review

Takayuki Shiraishi - Slow Shoutin'
posted a review of Takayuki Shiraishi - Slow Shoutin'. 10 months ago
Takayuki Shiraishi's SLOW SHOUTIN' certainly has the slow part down... not too sure about the shoutin', though, as the angular jazzy hip-hop of "Underexposure" winds its way into your ears. "Nightfall," similarly, floats into your ears, before "Movin'... See full review
Shantel - Viva Diaspora
posted a review of Shantel - Viva Diaspora. 10 months ago
VIVA DIASPORA moves back towards the electronic Bucovina groove Shantel built his name with, as the slinky “Eastwest—Dysi Ki Anatoli” proves. “Hey Girl” continues in this vein, bringing in the rolling percussion in the background. But the first half... See full review
Shantel - Anarchy + Romance
posted a review of Shantel - Anarchy + Romance. 10 months ago
The gentle strumming of “Ghost Town” might fool you into thinking that Shantel has gone in yet another direction on ANARCHY + ROMANCE, but the pop-house beat of “All the Glamour Has Gone” quickly returns to his Eastern European roots, even as he... See full review
Shantel - Planet Paprika
posted a review of Shantel - Planet Paprika. 10 months ago
Shantel continues his exploration of Eastern European fusion with PLANET PAPRIKA, mixing a minor rap with a more traditional refrain on the title track and “Citizen of Planet Paprika,” while evoking musical ships passing in the night with “Wandering... See full review
Shantel - Oh So Lovely
posted a review of Shantel - Oh So Lovely. 10 months ago
The single of OH SO LOVELY sees the strongest track off the HIGHER THAN THE FUNK enjoy a remix from Future 3 that abstracts into a dubbed out refraction of the original, recasting it into a minor key that retains the chorus. The new track “Vetiver”... See full review
Shantel - Higher Than The Funk
posted a review of Shantel - Higher Than The Funk. 10 months ago
Shantel’s third full length, HIGHER THAN THE FUNK, kicks off with the delightful “Tell Me Why Is It So Hard to Be Oh So Lovely,” a sugary, dubby track that cribs lyrics from My Fair Lady’s “Wouldn’t It Be Lovely”—that’s worth the price of admission... See full review

Shantel really captured the world’s attention with his Bucovina Club nights, and THE BUCOVINA CLUB YEARS collects his remixes, reworks and original tracks that marked those nights.
The thick Arabic-inspired beats on “Rayah,” for instance, help carry... See full review
Samaris - Black Lights
posted a review of Samaris - Black Lights. about 1 year ago
BLACK LIGHT sees Samaris moving in a more pop direction with English lyrics and more upbeat rhythms, like on the electro of the title track. But luckily, their melancholy hasn’t faded any either, with icy electronics to accompany the breaks of “Wanted... See full review
Spooky - Open
posted a review of Spooky - Open. about 1 year ago
After a long hiatus, Spooky finally released their third album, OPEN, which seems them moving away from the sonic exploration of their previous album to return to more dance-oriented pop, and, with the moody, cinematic mid-tempo breaks of “Belong,” a... See full review

posted a review of Spooky - Bamboo. about 1 year ago
BAMBOO sees the Spooky boys taking on their own remix duties with “Theme from Workshop” going at it with frenetic percussion, letting the hollow bamboo tones take a back seat. Those tones, however, come back full force with the “Theme from Catapult”... See full review
Spooky - Fingerbobs
posted a review of Spooky - Fingerbobs. about 1 year ago
On the remixes for FINGERBOBS, Dave Angel delivers a crisp tech-house mix, replete with a rolling drum builds, while Doi-oing step back from their progressive house to offer a slow dirge with a heavy bass and distorted guitar. The Spooky boys... See full review
Spooky - Found Sound
posted a review of Spooky - Found Sound. about 1 year ago
FOUND SOUND gave Spooky a new direction, leaning into more abstract tones and sounds, while not entirely abandoning their love of dancefloor beats. The industrial clanging that populates “Central Heating” is underlaid by a crunchy IDM-style beat and,... See full review
Spooky - Shunt EP
posted a review of Spooky - Shunt EP. about 1 year ago
The title track of SHUNT comes in with a clatter of structured noise, as if they’ve traded progressive house for IDM, only to follow it with the dreamy piano-driven “Area 39.” “Concussion” gets back to the clanging floor-filling, and “Falx” brings in... See full review
Spooky - Stereo EP
posted a review of Spooky - Stereo EP. about 1 year ago
Spooky continue their new trajectory with STEREO, and one might think they’re heading back into house territory with the synth riff that start the title track, but soon, the additional layers come in and edge into trance territory; “Can’t Remember”... See full review
Spooky - Clank EP
posted a review of Spooky - Clank EP. about 1 year ago
CLANK sees Spooky shake off their ‘progressive house’ tag for more adventurous leanings, starting with the blippy and industrial breaks of the title track followed by the complex xylophone work on “Oblong.” The angular melody on “Thai” contrasts the... See full review
Billie Ray Martin & Spooky - Persuasion
posted a review of Billie Ray Martin & Spooky - Persuasion. about 1 year ago
The combination of Billie Rae Martin and Spooky leads to an indelible act of PERSUASION, a track that’s as sultry as it is disturbing, opening with an almost industrial tone, perhaps a nod to the original by Throbbing Gristle. But it’s Martin’s... See full review
Spooky - Little Bullet
posted a review of Spooky - Little Bullet. about 1 year ago
On the remixes of LITTLE BULLET, Spooky puts the beat at the forefront of the “High Velocity Mix,” with the other elements of the track following afterward, while the “Dum Dum Mix” keeps things slower, almost meditative, less of a bullet and more of a... See full review
Spooky - Gargantuan

Early 90s progressive house was an odd time for electronic music—it hadn’t quite developed all technology to sound clean, and yet was still bursting with ideas. Into this came Spooky’s debut album, GARGANTUAN, which has some of the weaknesses of the... See full review
