Been a little all over the place of late what with moving countries twice and my laptop exploding, so yeaaaaah.

1. Joker – Glass Hearts

AS IF I haven’t written enough about Joker, but then he just keeps making such outrageously peng jams that I fucking have to. Back on that Megadrive flex that I literally can’t get enough of, this one is straight textbook Joker, bright, bold, funky as hell, and destined to spend the next couple of months in your head, like that one link you wish you hadn’t clicked on r/wtf. That’s my BOY.

2. Wallwork & TSVI feat. Nico Lindsay – Facts

More fire from that Nervous Horizon crew, though they’ve really outdone themselves with this one. Out on the legendary Black Acre, this one’s a razor-sharp little dance floor weapon. Pounding toms, militant snares and staccato rhythms reminiscent of kuduro and UK funky, with some effortlessly slick bars laid on top by Nico Lindsay adding an air of lazy confidence that’s hard to fuck with.

3. DJ Rashad – I Don’t Give a Fuck

Speaking of things not to fuck with…. Jeeeeeez that drop is the most horrifying shit I’ve ever heard in my life. Damn. Shit is straight up oppressive. Like that huge mothership from Independence Day, looming menacingly, consuming the sun and half the sky, and along with it, all resistance, all hope. Except with bass instead. Big tune.

4. Oliver Cheatham – Get Down Saturday Night

So yeah I watched Ex_Machina this month and it was pure deadly. Let this tune be a reason for you to check it out if ya haven’t already.

5. Aaliyah – Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number (James Nasty Remix)

Think this is actually the third James Nasty tune to make it into my blog, and to be fair it’s not just cuz he’s brilliant, I’m clearly just a massive sucker for these B’more jams these days. That said though, it’s fair to say Aaliyah is doing much of the heavy lifting here. In fact as I just considering removing it, but then that drop came in and I was like aaaaaahhh gwan so.

6. Don Rimini – Dance To Chicago

Booty Call Records delivering the fucking goods again. Went pure ham downloading most of their back catalogue after last month, so as a results it’s mostly what I’ve been listening to recently. To the point where I had to struggle to find stuff that wasn’t by them for this months post. Anyway yeah, big dirty ghetto house slammers, get em down ya.

7. DJ Ford Foster – Alright Asshole

See above.

8. Tiga – Blondes Have More Fun (Gerd Janson Go Acid Dub)

Here’s a big fat acid banger from the unsurprisingly German Gerd Janson, who looks like a 1970’s Formula 1 mechanic.This one’s a proper peak time, lose yerself in a sweaty trance roller; rich, deep, and constantly building, like a philosophical Celtic Tiger-era bricklayer. I feel like it’s gonna get removed from YouTube so I’m not really investing myself too much in a clever description here.

9. Humanoid – Stakker Humanoid (Smart Systems Remix)

SO YEAH according to my brief bit of research, this is a ’92 reworking of a classic 1988 acid house jam that indirectly led to the formation of Future Sounds of London. Neat. It’s also a stinker in its own right, full of all the breaks, whistles, hoovers, and primitive video games samples you could possibly want.

10. TSR – Framfallsmusik

Ooosh, straight out the gate this track is fucking vile. Ugly, crooked wonky techno from the always on point Mindcut Records. This one is an absolute dirtbird of a track, all nasty metallic stabs, and harsh pads. It doesn’t so much roll, as it grinds, get me fam yeah.

#CRYBANGER OTM: DJ Paypal – Flowers

Another month, another crybanger. Although I haven’t got any great story about this one, just that it’s an absolute primer of a track, pure audio sunshine. Once again, to be fair, DJ Paypal ain’t doing the heavy lifting here, but while the original is an undeniable classic, the extra 30 or so bpms give it a kind of manic optimism which is downright infectious, and for my money elevate it to #CRYBANGER status.
