Amazing track from the soundtrack of ‘You Were Never Really Here’, and used to perfection in the film but can’t really spoil things here the only thing I would say that its’ a must-watch for me. Has the sense and beauty of this Moby classic from Heat if you are looking for more on a similar tip.

This week it’s our pleasure to have the great Boo Williams to take on episode 141 of our podcast series. As always we quickly caught up with the Chicago house veteran to find out a bit more about what he’s been up to and the idea behind the mix:
Staying focus on my new BOO MOONMAN label and continuing to strive for perfection.
This was recorded in my Chicago flat sans vinyl just today. Wanted to play some classics with new tracks.
Love this cut from Timelines, the LP from Instra:mental that came out last year. Has a proper Bladerunner feel to it, amazing glassy synths and rolling beat, production tight as you would expect from these guys. If you are a fan of this would highly recommend checking out Severent by Kudeo which takes a more direct Bladerunner hommage.
One of my favourite pieces of OPN’s work, The Fall into Time, from 2013. Came back to this one after watching Uncut Gems which he did the soundtrack for, and it helped elevate an already great film to a new level. Moog did a great piece, behind the scenes of the soundtrack (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIAvmtNIx9I) word of warning it will prob make you want a Moog one, and at 8k that’s a decent dent ;)
So now we finally have a bit of enforced downtime it seems like the perfect excuse to dust off the blog. A lot has changed in the ‘blogosphere’ since we started it back in 2008, we started this to share music with our mates, we feel our friends can do with sightly more than just a Spotify link over WhatsApp now we have some spare minutes.
Starting us off is one of my fav tracks off Souvlaki by Slowdive. Over the summer 19, I started to revisit old albums I hadn’t listened to in ages and when in my teens used to have in the car non-stop. This was one of them. More and more we have started to try and get a more ‘band’ approach when it comes to making music, so when I listened back to this after years it instantly had the fuzzy liveness that is pretty hard to get with electronic music. If in doubt just stick everything through a Re-501 or Space Echo and you get a small way to there, either way, love that sound and these guys encapsulate that on this record a lot.
