For Real

Posted on January 2, 2020 @ 5:38pm by Coqui

Parallax Moves Vol. II (2020 - A New Decade) It's the 20s moving in full effect: more moods and grooves tease the dance intellect. Feeling beats brand new and beats dug up old, get down so long as every beat comes cold. We spend our time dwelling down in the heights, we work hard all … Continue reading For Real

Sunrise in the city of dreams Early morning and it's Savage Reese in full effect, the African Beast coming at you askew in Multifunction at every different level, Velocity Funk working the angles inna Grooverider style while you Bounce Your Body To The Box and kick those laps at an Uptempo speed, out in the … Continue reading The Savage And Beyond

El Cajon Blvd.

On that Eastside past 70th tip... With the days getting shorter, you head out walking after work and the sun's already setting as you return. This is Earthbeat weather, locked down inna Parallax stylee, streetwise traffic set against ECM skies. Minute by minute, Prelude and West End set the tone, old 69 records spinning in … Continue reading El Cajon Blvd.

Slow Burn

Terranova, Terranova... doesn't that mean new land?, I heard a voice say. Traffic sounds hang like hieroglyphs in the thick of the afternoon, air hot and humid and heavy, surroundings all swathed in blankets of compression. Bass pressure rises from within the monolith's core, the digital skank of The Sabres Of Paradise cresting with gilded … Continue reading Tower Of Dub

The Deep

Posted on February 15, 2017 @ 10:28pm by Coqui

A creature lurks in the deep — fathoms deep beneath bass pressure and walls of inertia — submerged in an ocean of sound. Its shadow slides across plant life and outcroppings of stone... a silhouette rises to the surface, slowly. Pipe organ drifts through chasms of dub — invasion creeping in a frieze of fury — it all surges upward into the deep … Continue reading The Deep
