remold / recur by Donkey Basketball
As time goes by, you go through different stages in your life, and there comes a time when the age gap between generations causes you to lose connection with the new ones. Honestly, there comes a time in your life when it seems like you're out of place in an environment full of younger people. It's a difficult thing to accept when it start happens to you, but eventually, your life takes a different direction, and you accept and embrace it.
One thing that has always amused me about what I'm telling you is when, for example, I watch a stream of a festival or an electronic music event and see a bunch of young people having a great time and dancing to the sounds of a DJ who is perhaps three times their age. This always makes me think: the connection between different generations exists and is stronger than we think. It's undeniable that we all feed of each other. The older generation takes on the spirit, the rebellion, and the desire to innovate from the youngers, and the younger generation takes on the experience and know-how of the older generation.
From my perspective, it's hard to know if the work I'm doing here really has any connection with the younger generation, and it was Isaac (Donkey Basketball) who put me on the track and made me think that maybe we did have that connection. I'll always remember the first email he sent me, which began: Hi there, my name is Isaac Lowenstein. I'm 18... after listening to the demo and seeing the amazing music he sent me, I couldn't be more satisfied. This genre we work in which is twisted, difficult, complex, sometimes dissonant, and even uncomfortable for many, had really resonated with young people, and they were really going to continue giving it the push it needs to stay alive for many more years which is great news for everyone!.
Donkey Basketball features a set of tracks full of intense, complex, and very original rhythms. The melodies infuse the tracks with intensity or sometimes make them more melancholic. Isaac's proposal presents us an increasingly closer future where dance floors have become more complex, people demand more innovative rhythms, new techniques to mix them, and everything is not governed by the same BPM.
This is a great album to enjoy at high volume if your mood today is inclined to dance, or at least move your head and feet. Try it!!
