I write this from a place of self-love. I write this from a place of love for thumping basslines. I write this from a place of X-TASTY. I write this from a place of Pure Love for Dance Music of many forms. I write from a place of loving Trip Hop from day one. I write this from a place of being sonically addicted to the soon-to-be-released tape from SandmansDead to be honest, i don’t even like house. I can’t stop bumpin this record since it landed in my inbox. For 13 tracks, this human proves that Dance music has the power to heal and uplift at the same time.
As the audio earworm “ihopeyoulikewhatididtoyourlawnmower” crawls into my reality my mind starts to melt into a state of BLISS. Many of the tracks on this tape give me the same feeling of power I get from listening to BURIAL’s “Untrue.” SandmansDead’s use of vocal samples is so spot on. Also, the atmosphere that floats through is fucking pure brilliance! My whole humanity has been transformed by the energy of tracks like it’s a drag (feat. Swamp G & Blindsight). Something happens after track 8. SandmansDead flips the script and guides into his abstract world of Trip Hop and Ghostly Memphis Hip Hop. I know for a fact that with each listen you will experience new sensations as you immerse yourself in to be honest, i don’t even like house. This record was not created by someone trying to fit into a scene but it was created by a human that wanted to share their vision of dance music with the world. If SandmansDead reads this I want them to know that “A happy face, a thumpin’ bass for a lovin’ race” will always reign SUPREME! Let’s all dance nonstop on the grace of our downpressors! I write this from a place of cosmic warrior energy and pure passion for BASS!
