A brilliant record born out of a deep love for the TB-303 and the infinite possibilities of classic analog gear, ranging widely from breaks to ambient house! The esteemed 〈EMOTIONAL ESPECIAL〉, a gathering point for leftfield talent, hooks up with a new discovery: a hardware workout by DJ 1985. The title track, opening with slowed-down, screwed rave breaks, is a killer.
A new release on 〈(EMOTIONAL) ESPECIAL〉, the label where alternative talents like AKIO NAGASE, ALPHONSE and KHIDJA have racked up club hits! Enter STANISLAV GRISHCHUK aka DJ 1985, a Soviet-born analog maniac now living in exile in Belgrade. These electronic dance jams grow out of his reverence for vintage analog gear, above all the ROLAND TB-303. Kicking off with "We Trippin'" (sample1), electro-breaks pairing screwed breaks with sweet, cinematic 303 lines, and moving on to the weightless ambient house of "Dolphins & Sirens" (sample2), he mines machine sound with plenty of individual ideas.
