Abstract Party

With the same certainty that the leaves will turn brown and fall from the trees, autumn sees the release of Toolroom's closing party album. Its the labels annual state of the house nation address and 2018 is no exception. While this years edition contains a healthy smattering of feel good house - the most impressive exempts being the vocal grooves of Weiss Feel My Needs and Illyus & Barrientos there are also more adventurous variants on offer. These include Peggy Gous tweaked acid take on Shakedowns At Night, the chord heavy Dusky take on KiNKs Perth and the cut-up, abstract Pale Blue Dot by rising lo-fi house artist Ross From Friends, which demonstrate that this year, Toolroom is thinking outside the box.
