Absorbing everything from vogue and ballroom house to cumbia-inflected freestyle and Miami bass, this is a sweat-soaked house workout built around the legendary TR-808 and a Latin-gothic flavor! BROWN ANGEL, a core figure behind San Francisco's celebrated party "HARD FRENCH," arrives on 〈DARK ENTRIES〉. A wholehearted work that channels the grief of losing his father along with a pure heart, fusing emotionally charged expression with dancefloor vibes. Recommended!
A mini-album-style release from BROWN ANGEL, known as a central member of "HARD FRENCH," the LGBTQ+-friendly dance party that has held firm status in San Francisco for over a decade! He makes full use of an original ROLAND TR-808 unit acquired, as if by fate, right around the time his father passed away. From fierce vogue to freestyle, the record explores club sounds that feel contemporary yet timeless. There's the opener "Miel," shining with high club vibes reminiscent of MAW at their peak and early SAUNDERSON, plus deft sampling and synth work, and "Maya," heavily colored by Miami bass and West Coast electro. You can savor it from all sorts of angles: the dancefloor-honed groove, the sentimental flair in the chords and melodies, and the originality of its Latin-gothic taste. Though an album, the arrangement and track lengths also make it DJ-friendly — a nice touch.
