Felix – Tom Demac

Tom Demac rarely gets it wrong. He has been churning out huge club tracks over the last decade*. His latest single in collaboration with Real Lies, White Flowers, is surprisingly low-grade for a producer of his quality.

Fortunately, it is redeemed by the B-Side, Felix; a brooding, deep number, it is reminiscent of the recently deceased Trevino’s club hit Backtracking – and this can only be a good thing.

*Try Critical Distance, Rain of Colour, It Grows Again, Linda’s Theme, Smoke Stained Ivories & The Shuttle Awaits if he is new to you. Joy awaits

Kingdoms in Colour – Maribou State

Released last week, Maribou State’s long-awaited second studio album, Kingdoms in Colour.

Long-time collaborator Holly Walker is once again featured on a number of the tracks, including the stand-out single Nervous Tics; a track that’s also been given the remix treatment by Maceo Plex. The album also features an unexpected cameo from mind-bending rock trio Khruangbin – the track Feel Good features their trademark bass guitar thrums and provides a welcome spurt of tempo to the middle of the album. Another standout track is Turnmills. Featuring MS’s trademark strings alongside a pleasant chuggy baseline – the track is a tribute to the now-closed iconic Turnmills club in London.

All in all it’s a successful follow-up number from Maribou – they have put together an album that should please existing and new fans alike

They have 3 UK dates booked for early March – check them out
