#4 Top Releases in DJ Tools / Acapellas

This musical project is considered high art. In the decades previous, the genres touched on in modern dance music and its surrounding scenes have been diverse and subject to various criticism. We dont care. This shit is still all PLUR baby. Remember two things, nobody is perfect and nobody knows whats going on. Groove Inc. returns and brings the abstracted tones of the late-night to the foreground and delivers us a heated groove with AWAKE (AGAIN). Dirty Merlin, the institution, joins us for the first time. Breathing life into the scene out of Long Beach, we get magic and wizardry in the form of a deep cut titled MURDER DUB. DJ Xboyfriend spent way too long putting this compilation together, but delivers a signature sound with SMOKING SECTION, putting the groove at the intersection of deep and White Lotus type beat. Bobby Lava, the former child star of commercial stardom and fame debuts THE SHOW MUST GO ON, a seductive and intriguing offering. Motion Denied! (aka Annika Wolfe), graces us with wavy, shapeshifting textures and an undeniably deep, funky groover filled with atmosphere. Doctor KA is a performer, extremely talented vocalist and underground king. Regularly playing sets outside of liquor stores and streetside community events, the elusive and highly conceptual artist joins us with a cathartic release, TAURUS, celebrating the life and memory of his father. Ian Zunich has the acid-tinged spacey minimalism that The Contest is known for and comes correct with his second appearance on the label Velodrome wears a mask. Thats still really cool. We dont even know who this guy is but we were scared for our families if we didnt put this one on. HOUSE MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE THERE WILL BE NO WORDS THAT RHYME WITH ORANGE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED RIP JOSH TOBERMAN
