Dance Roundup Week of 1/5
Now that we’re recovered from New Year’s Eve, a new set of dance records are conspiring to get us back on our feet.
For Your Safe Keeping 003 by Skin on Skin
First up, For Your Safe Keeping 003 by Skin on Skin gives us the best possible outcome of the fusion of hip hop and house music. Fun, engaging rap verses mix with gritty house to make something that ties the mind and body together.
Viejos archivos resonando en mi ser - EP by JDisk
Our next record, Viejos archivos resonado en mi ser - EP by JDisk, takes a much more experimental approach, crafting intuitive beats covered in eclectic sonic flourishes. At times, these experimental elements displace any danceable feeling, giving this album a split identity that retains unity through a shared musical language.
Faith and the Vessel by Kinoteki
Finally, Faith and the Vessel by Kinoteki unites physical and conceptual energy to make a break-heavy, dubstep-inspired jungle sound that will snap your neck and blow your mind. Telling the story of a bold escape from poverty in a fictional cyberpunk dystopia, this record provides a clear signal of the potential of dance music as a medium of storytelling.
