Track Of The Day: Will Long - That's What They Understand (Sprinkles Overdub) (Comatonse Recordings)


Once you’ve had a listen to this, everything else feels irrelevant. The space time continuum takes a new course and opens new portals to hitherto unknown parallel universes. Aural dopamine. The real meaning of dub. What I like most about DJ Sprinkles’ dubs, overdubs and whatnot, is that first of all they give you more than enough time to get lost in them. More than enough time is important as there’s nothing worse than being found too quickly when you’re in that fugue state. The use of spoken word as well. Subtle but incredibly effective. The pads are heaven throughout, and that little bit of syncopation around them, that sounds like its wrapped on a vocal sample. Lovely dense handclaps carry this tune along under the power of its own positivity. And when the vibes come in there is a coalescence of gargantuan proportions. Not just the soundtrack top a new day dawning, but to that of time itself. I do love a cliché.
