Welcome to my blog, I write about the music I like.
A few more late finds from 2021, including robust breakbeat techno from Ryan James Ford, syrupy synth pop from Men I Trust, and snaking beats winding their way through the streets of Lagos from Emeka Ogboh. And given how much I loved Mrs Jynx's collaboration with µ-Ziq, on Secret Garden last year - it seemed high time to check out more of her discography.
It’s characteristic of the album as a whole, and in fact much of µ-Ziq’s discography - that Mike Paradinas' best moments come when he plays it a bit lighter and doesn’t overcomplicate things.
Listening to Reflekzionz reminds me of flicking through a scrapbook of faded photographs of scenes from nondescript British towns. There's something soothing and nostalgic in the grainy distortion of these 12 compositions, and the simple chiming melodies that pierce through the clouds of fuzz.
