‘Inspiration Dance’, DJ Guy’s latest collection slaloms between genres and shows that class is permanent. (The “form is temporary” bit is irrelevant here.)  There are nods to rave and nascent hardcore: ‘Shake It Up And Start Again’, ‘There Is Beauty’, house: ‘Glide’, ‘Dreaming feat. Margie M’; idm: ‘On A Fragile Planet’: techno/breaks: ‘Ecstacy (sic) In Mind’; breaks: ‘In The Music’; techno: ‘Time Goes By’, ‘There Is Always Hope’, ‘There Is Always Hope’, ‘Journey Onwards’; and downtempo: ‘Out Of The Darkness’. Right away I’m guilty of rampant pigeon-holing, so it also has to be said that, under the circumstances, these are loose, lazy terms and that quite a few of these tracks more than transcend the genres I’ve assigned to them. The most amazing thing about this record, however, is that it’s self-released. Maybe Guy wanted it that way. Was this the only way it was going to see the light of day though? It’s an amazing album which doesn’t put a foot wrong and accurately reflects the talent and personality of its creator. One of the best interviews I conducted on this blog was with Guy back in 2015, a humble and talented artist who deserves much more recognition and reward for his endeavours. Truly one of The UK’s most genuine artists working in the hallowed sphere of electronic music and rave mechanics.
