Back to Mine with Glow In The Dark

Supermax – Ain’t Gonna Feel

Unorthodox, moody, and uber cool.

Pentagram – Be Forewarned

If you ever need a track to drag you out of the dirt.

Mulatu Astatqe – Tezeta (Nostalgia)

A delightfully dreamy authentic vibe.

Pharcyde – Soul Flower (remix)

My favourite sun-soaked hip-hop groove

The Paradise – In Love With You

A romantic epic: 10CC on steroids.

Philip Glass – Runaway Horses

I will forever fall for these harmonies.

Le Knight Club – Tropicall

It’s a spiritual thing, a body thing, a soul thing

Sparks – My Other Voice

“With my other voice I can destroy this room” – ’nuff said!

Squarepusher – Tundra 4

If there was music playing when the universe was created, this was it.

Chopin – Chopin Berceuse Op 57 D Flat Major

For as long as I can play piano, I will try to play this poetic musical journey: I love Chopin.

Glow In The Dark – Future Bliss (Sonar Kollektiv)

Album specialists Sonar Kollektiv will kick off 2017 with a fantastic full length from a fascinating new artist, Harry Miller, aka Glow In The Dark.
Glow In The Dark doesn’t do Facebook, nor does he have a website, so you won’t find out any information about him. He simply sits in his studio sampling and making beats, and doesn’t even DJ or play live. With music as essential as this though, that should be more than enough to win him a healthy fan base.
The magic of Glow In The Dark’s tracks is energised mostly by Miller’s delicate way of treating his various samples. And unlike much sample based music such as hip hop, his tracks are completely free from any sort of nostalgia, because all of his songs are designed for the future through and through.
Things kick off with ‘step ONE’ a shimmering and sunny tune that lurches on a great broken beat as bright synths emanate from the core. From there the excellent neon funk of “1987”, the mad refracted colours of ‘Kaleidoscopic Hue’ and the updated chillwave vibes of the title track all leave you dreaming of being by a beach.
The succulent ‘Screams Under Stars’ is a deep, neo-r&b number with breathy vocals that are truly alluring and the synth pop of ‘The Last Dance’ proves Miller has a great grasp of melody, arrangement and texture. Last two tracks ‘1987’ and ‘Absolute Zero’ marry more heatwave synths and organic beats into real style and round out this most stylish of trips.
Future Bliss is one hell of a joy ride, from the first note to the last tone, and as such very much announces the arrival of a hot new talent.
