A discovery for me via BridgeCow in Unknown Pleasures back in 2019 (may be better known via Jeff also sending them to BJSC with his final entry to date last year, 'Yes I Need My Generator' w/ Turnstile), one of the most consistently high quality acts in electronic music for me so I figure he deserves a long overdue thread in here.

 

He's dropped 2 releases this year so far. First a 4 track EP 'Steel City Dance Discs Volume 20' from January:

 

 

and then more recently he dropped another single about a month ago, 'FMG' with Effy (another promising name who I first discovered from a song in Jade's personal chart a while back)

 

 

5 for 5 from 2021 releases for me so far, 'FMG' and 'Room Full Of Rothko' being my faves <3 (RFOR was technically dropped as a single in December 2020 but still x)

New single

 

 

Previous release

 

Spirit Wave is a tuneee!

 

He had the current Kathaldazia BJSC entry playing in his Instagram story recently :wub:

^ I said during the listenthrough that X CLUB. song sounded like Mall Grab so that cosign makes sense haha.

 

Forgot to post 'Love Reigns' in here at the time, not his best song imo but still another tune, need to check out the new one ~

New banger Metaphysical out now :music:

 

new single out this week

 

Production is amazing but the vocals are too jarring :(

Didn't recognise the name at first but could tell straight away when I heard his vocals that Brendan is the singer from Turnstile - good to see them working on more stuff together after Mall Grab's previous remix EP as I have been getting more into Turnstile of late! (Though I'm not surprised that the vocals were a turnoff for r Kath oops)

 

I'm really liking this song as well anyway (and 'Metaphysical' was a banger too), Mall Grab's no-miss streak continues for me. The music video as well :heart:

Times Change with D Double E and Novelist is out now;

 

Not a fan of these collabs unfortunately

He dropped another collab with Effy as well last month which wasn't posted yet so here it is, should probably be more to r Kath's taste x

 

New single Breathing is much more to my taste :wub:

 

'What I Breathe' album was released Aug 5, 2022.

 

 

 

Includes his lastest single with Nia Archives

 

 

Breathing music vieo

 

I still need to give the album a listen in full but finding Patience surprisingly boring oops.

Did you ever listen to this album Kath? x

 

I did like 'Patience' but it is definitely the weakest of the singles for me - there are 3 album tracks that I am stanning in particular from this, 'Intercity Relations' is my fave (we stan a good 'yeah! woo!' sample x) and also really loving 'Without The Sun' and 'I Can Remember It So Vividly' <3 really solid album for me overall, there are a couple of less essential songs towards the end but have saved most of the album to my playlist ~

'Love is Real' by Loods & Mall Grab was released on 08/09

 

Did you ever listen to this album Kath? x

I wasn't particularly excited to dive in having heard most of the songs already and those being a mixed bag. However, I'm liking quite a few of the new tracks:

 

Hand In Hand Through Wonderland (lush and vibey)

I Can Remember It So Vividly (trippy banger)

Intercity Relations (a nice little breakbeat jungle swerve here)

Distant Conversation (love the production layers and timbre on this)

 

And of course Metaphysical and Breathing were massive bangers from the singles.

A deluxe version of the album was released this week. It's basically just instrumentals of the vocal tracks + a banging new single 'Tremors'

 

Boiler Room

 

The sound quality of Tremors is terrible on Spotify wtf!
