Review: T4T LUV NRG knows how to curate a vibe, and Bored Lord's latest creation is a testament to that. Visionary Oakland's Bored Lord, aka DJ Daria, brought us one of her most extensive releases to date "Name It". As you dive into this musical journey, you'll feel a sense of spirituality woven into every beat and synth. It's like a sonic cathedral where the dancefloor becomes a sacred space, and the music is the gospel that unites us all. It's a reminder that the roots of rave are still firmly in place, even as we journey into uncharted musical territories. In the midst of all the euphoria, Bored Lord gently reminds us that love isn't just a bed of roses. It's the pain, the growth, the acceptance, and the transformation. It's the profound belief that there's more to this world than suffering and isolation. Love is the peace we find amidst the chaos of living, and it doesn't just fall into our laps. We have to want it, we have to be ready for it, and when it arrives, we have to name it.
Review: Maya Bouldry-Morrison's first Octo Octa outing of 2021 is, as expected, rather good. Appearing on the T4T LUV NRG imprint she founded with life partner Eris Drew, the EP's three tracks wrap typically psychedelic and kaleidoscopic electronic sounds around tried-and-tested, club-ready grooves. While closing cut 'Spell For Nature' is a slow-build affair seemingly designed to begin sets - think long ambient intros, glassy-eyed distant piano sounds, whispered vocals and increasingly prominent beats - both 'Goddess Calling' and 'Find Your Way Home' are as tough as they are hallucinatory. Both see Bouldry-Morrison wrap drowsy pads and twisted electronic motifs around a mixture of crunchy house drums, sweaty breakbeats and - for a few heady moments - grooves seemingly inspired by early psy-trance.
