julio bashmore - knockin' boots

loving this so much. kinda ridiculous it's going to be in shadow of Jamie XX's LP for at least a while. The whole Bashmore brand seems to be ill marketed this side of the atlantic, he deserves a crossover success IMO. I am not familiar with this scene, I discovered him thanks to Jessie Ware.

Finally got around to this and it's really good! I feel like he uses voices and samples to better effect than most his peers.

there's been a real glut of this stuff over the past couple of years

The only recent (at a push) things this has explicitly reminded me of are KiNK's "Hand Made" and Tom Trago's "Use Me Again." Have I not been paying close enough attention or is there a lot more out there that sits at this specific intersection of disco, deep house and slightly retro anthemicness?

not that i recall this well enough other than to side-eye it but marquis hawkes' social housing is akin but good

Oh synchronicity - read this while listening to Marquis Hawkes "Fantasy", from said LP.

thx for the tip, this sounds p good and yeah exactly the same retro samples pop house style

despite my frantic proselytizing itt for the bash album not amounting to much i still think it's a masterpiece. feel like ilx uk dance partisans just got a bad whiff about it from the wrong corners of the music press or something. Dominique OTM about bizarre harmony on 'holding on'
