DANCE ROUNDUP Week of 9/8
Here’s a look at some of the best underground dance records from the week!
PSSPSSPSS by Str4kys
Most dance records work to enhance the physical space that they’re broadcast into, but PSSPSSPSS by Str4kys welcomes you into a distinct space. Filled with as much brooding ambiance as danceable percussion, this record will give you an experience you won’t forget.
Wire Broke by Closet Yi
If you’re wanting something more in the typical dance realm this week, try out Wire Broke by Closet Yi. This thing scratches the same itch as minimal techno while bringing in some fuller-bodied percussion.
Jbal Rrsas by Deena Abdelwahed
At first, Jbal Rrsas by Deena Abdelwahed seems like a fairly typical dark-ambient-leaning techno record, but don’t be fooled. The implementation of Middle Eastern instrumentation and Arabic chanting elevate this album to something special, and these elements only add to the record’s infectious grooves.
Poppa Zesque by Josh Caffe
Finally, we got a raunchy jazztronica record from Josh Caffe called Poppa Zesque, showing us the fascinating results of removing jazz improvisation from its traditional swing time context. Spoiler alert: it works well and inspires dancing deep in your bones!
