May 2020 Confinement Chart


Roses & Aliens – Emotional Ty (EMTY)

I came across the first four releases in this chart while listening to Jane Fitz’s excellent Rinse FM show. The track off this release that she played is ‘Dream Journal’, a superlative piece of prog/trance inflected deep house. 


 Tranceporter – Oall Hoates (Of Paradise)

Funnily enough, I’d stumbled upon this release a few days before. Attracted by the artist’s obviously awful spoonerism, I had to know more.


Kopp – Birds Ov Paradise (Manjumasi)

More mystical, tranced-out business. I can see its benefits.


 Byron’s Theme – Pillow Queen (Radiant Love)

So you take it in small doses, and pitch down if necessary, as with the Ex-Terrestrial mix of the title track.


Plant Lyfe Vol. 1 – V/A (Eternal Ocean)

A compilation featuring three artists: Internal Transfer, Ceres and D.X.M. apparently this is the result of collaborative projects that should have been released three years ago. A little random, but to be expected. Interesting though, and versatile.


Sandtrax – Hame DJ (Kalahari Oyster Cult)

An organic, breaks dominated game of two halves. Side A goes for the jugular, while B is far more horizontal. Fresh rave shizzle.


Green Carrot – Gladis (Minimmal Movement)

Lovely stuff out of Nijmigen. Firmament pressing aquatic beats which evoke a Devonian, dawn of time panorama. Some great noises constantly going off in the background in all these tracks, which is what you want.


Unknown World EP – Remus (Blue)

Follow on from Gladis, but more linear and dubby. This is what I expect from a double header where the tunes are nine minutes or so long. They don’t disappoint. Twangy and deep.


Existenzmaximum – Datassette (Future Massive)

Electro, but a little bit more. Everything’s a little bit wonky here, as if the conventional framework isn’t flexible enough. I’m listening to a lot of similar stuff at the moment, which is whimsical, off beat, and eccentric. All good and very imaginative.


ENDZ 034 – Diego Krause (Eastenderz)
