Don't Make Me Wait

Every year without fail I find something right at the end of the year that is clearly one of the best tracks of that year. I found this one on 30th December. Here's the latest 'should have been in my 2019 end of year list' contender...



A combination of thumping kick drum, pulsing disco sequencer line, a piano part that's straight out of 1991 and a chanted vocal line 'don't make me wait' that is pure house. This sounds like it could have been made at any point in the last thirty years and also somehow very 2019. Transporting, uplifting and with energy to spare. You can buy it from Bandcamp here.  The man who is Llewellyn is Martin Enke from Leipzig (who also makes music as Lake People, Amrint Keen and Trickform) .

Monday's Long Song

Daniel Avery's Falling Light, twenty two minutes of sounds as part of an audio/visual installation for Leeds International Festival, has recently been made available as a freebie. You can get it by signing up to the mailing list here. Opening with a piano heavily drenched in reverb and then noise, drone, haze and static before eventually being replaced techno drums and rising synth chords.

Rebuild

This is newish from Field Of Dreams who released the excellent No 303 e.p. earlier this year. Rebuild comes in an original mix which is an acid tinged chuggy stomper. The flipside is this, the Deconstructed Mix, which is heavy on the dub techno tip and adds space age sci fi sounds. The vocal sounds ominous but is asking for for a better life- 'we need to stand up, fight against corruption, injustice, intolerance... rebuild, rebuild, rebuild'. Ten minutes of unseasonal but life affirming stuff.
