Desolat – DESOLATCD001

While you have been biting your nails waiting for the next post, I have been enjoying myself in the darker parts of London. Saturday saw me visiting Mulletover, an underground party that feeds the hype by keeping its locations secret and publishing it through viral channels only a couple of days before the event. The highlight there was Dixon, who unfortunately entertained the carnival-masked crowd only two hours until 2AM, which is when Sebo K took over. His set was quite a disappointment, simply because of the mostly dull music. He had a couple of moments though, to give him justice. Dixon played out a couple of records that are quite certainly going to be big once they get released, such as the new Laurent Garnier on Innervisions or the Henrik Schwarz remix of Bill Withers or a track from the new Loco Dice album.

The album altogether is brilliant and quite house-y. Which gives me confidence in saying that House is making a small comeback and conquering back territory from his skinny weird-hairstyle brother Minimal. Another indicator of that have been the recent Radio Slave records, which I have liked quite a lot. And I don’t recall a minimal record from the recent months that would have moved me very much.

But just go ahead and listen to the sweaty beat of “Tight Laces”. It’s really something, isn’t it?
