Gotta play a little catch up here. Been falling behind on answering blog e-mails and even digging, so here comes my attempt at a mega post!

Yes yes..school is starting tomorrow. Last semester though. Boo yah!

No tracklist for this one yet. I requested one but haven’t heard back. Still worth the download though! I’ve been listening to this all week.

So I discovered Matthew Garton about 2 weeks ago now, and boy, this kid really has his shit together. Garton dropped his new Soul For Rent EP on Los Angeles-based Potty Mouth Music, offering the label even more variety in their already versatile sound. Coming straight out of Johannesburg, South Africa, Garton is widely known within the underground house community as one half of DJ/production duo Rotation Station (with partner Roger Aquino). His music falls most certainly into the genres of house, although he pulls from a wide range of stylings, delivering a sound unlike anything I’ve ever heard. Squelchy pitch-bent basslines with a general tech house influence, all mixed in with filter disco and indie-electro. It’s almost as if he knew exactly what I was looking for!

“This EP represents all the styles of house that I love,” Garton says of his PMM debut. “It almost feels like I’ve drawn on influences from the past and then reworked them into more current interpretations.”

It’s hard to say which is my favorite track, but I think One Love might come out on top. The track starts off with a nice tech house vibe, equipped with a buzzy pitch-bent synth hook and some fidgety bass stabbed throughout. It breaks down into some excellent indie vocals about dancing and comes back in with the heat! I almost feel like I’m fighting off little techno monsters in a fidget jungle after it drops. It’s wonderful!

They’re all here at 192 for your listening pleasure. Unfortunately I can’t hand these over in full quality, so you’ll have to support Garton over at Beatport.

CYV™ is here! Minor aesthetic changes may be made over the next couple weeks as I figure things out this whole blogging thing, but this is pretty much it! So yeah, expect a couple posts in the next week and I’ve got a mix in the works, so stay tuned for that one too. To start off my blogging, I’m going to post two awesome fidget tracks from Geoff K, hailing from South Africa. (Originally posted on Squeegie Sounds)

This first one hits you with some odd vocal stabs, but hey, they’re kind of sick. Housekeeping anyone?
