Overmono Made the Album of the Summer and It's Forty Minutes Long
Read more . . . →Three days with Pure Devotion and I’ve stopped opening Spotify for anything else. Overmono’s second album landed last Thursday — eleven tracks, forty minutes — and it rearranged the rest of my August. Their debut was a controlled detonation. This one is looser, warmer, and it wins every argument the first record started. 1. Overmono - Knight In Shining Prada (feat. John Joseph Holt) BBC Radio 1 gave this the Hottest Record tag and for once the hype was underselling it. John Joseph Holt sings over a beat that lands somewhere between 2-step and a headnod nobody’s named yet, and...

Two Records, No Connection
Read more . . . →If you only have ten minutes today, spend them on these two. They share no DNA. One went number one in three countries, the other cracked Beatport’s top 100 from a label most people can’t name. Both of them own a piece of this summer from opposite ends. 1. Adam Port & Stryv ft. Malachiii - Move You hear this once in a bar and then it follows you home. Malachiii’s vocal sits on a rhythm that splits the difference between Afrobeats and melodic house, and standing still to it is physically unreasonable. It went to number one in Belgium,...

Windows Down, Nothing Else
Read more . . . →Some tracks exist for dancefloors. These two exist for tarmac. 1. Tinlicker - Reborn The arpeggios come in and immediately it’s the late 90s and trance is the most important thing in the universe. Tinlicker spent three albums getting more refined, and then just went back to what got them started — rippling synths and urgent stabs, the kind of build that makes you grip the steering wheel tighter without realising. It runs close to nine minutes and earns every one of them. The third single off their fourth album, and the first Tinlicker track in a while that made...
