THUMP Abuja

So this time I'm sharing a single track, that's right, just one, but this isn't any ordinary track; it is a hefty 28 minute anthem. This is also record that has become something of an entryway, for many, into the underground world of minimal and microhouse. For those of you who put this on, and just allow it to play, I hope you enjoy the journey!

Mari Kvien Brunvoll – Everywhere You Go (Villalobos Celestial Voice Amnesia Resurrection Mix)

The Artist:
Ricardo Villalobos is a Chilean-German producer, DJ, and a godfather figure in the minimal techno scene. His name alone can spark intense opinions, but one thing is clear: nobody sounds like Villalobos.
Known for his marathon sets, long tracks, alien percussion, and deep understanding of groove, Villalobos operates in his own dimension. He builds tracks that to the untrained ear may seem repetitive, but they are far from linear; they breathe, morph, and unravel in real time. His music doesn’t tell you what to feel. It invites you in and lets you figure it out for yourself.

The Record:
This remix of Mari Kvien Brunvoll "Everywhere You Go" has become legendary; a cult favorite that was intended for underground dancefloors (in the after hours) but somehow made its way to the surface as one of Villalobos' most recognizable tracks. It’s long, slow, dubby, and deeply hypnotic. A perfect example of minimal done right.
For many, myself included, this was one of the first tracks that cracked something open. That moment when you stop chasing the drop and start falling in love with the space between things. This record gently pulls you into the deeper corners of dancefloor centered electronic music. It’s understated, but once it gets its hooks in, it doesn’t let go.

Yours musically,

P.S. Personal favorite moment - when those teased vocals finally kick in at 5:24 mark.
