A not too inconsiderable break to the blog posts but back on the musical train of all things good. This smooth jackin’ slab of deepness has been marinating as a draft, time to give it the space it deserves. Don’t know much about Anonym but the name kind of suggests a wish to remain in the background and let the material speak for itself.
A kind soul has also put it up on YouTube:

Despite my gushing praise of a mix that I bought back in ‘92 and owning quite a few of the drum’n'bass releases by him and others on the Good Looking band of labels (sadly mostly lost to water damage in an incident); I paid no attention to any of his releases after I went to live abroad at the end of the nineties or even after I returned. It wasn’t until Jenifa Mayanja played this track on one of her early shows on MotionFM.com that I was enjoying via the archives they keep and KERRR-POW!!! I was knocked over by the polished ethereal-ness for which Bukem is reknowned. Listen, close your eyes and dream dreams of sunrises over utopian dancefloors in woodlands of elation… which sounds quite wanky but we all deserve a moment of blissful rapture though some can articulate it better than others.

May as well blow my own trumpet and recommend one of my own mixes, kindly published and hosted by the excellent deeprhythms.com website as a guest mix. A departure from the norm in that it’s mixed entirely with digital music that I’ve bought, not available on vinyl, using Serato – yep, Dylan went electric and now so have I.

Been getting immersed in this twelve since I bought it, Sammy Gouyette certainly has his finger on a deep pulse. It’s been out for almost a month, appears to be a vinyl-only release and, as such, probably only available in a limited quantity. Have chosen the long B side to blog but the other two tracks were easily worthy of inclusion, (listen to the samples on juno here and here) plus with it being executively produced by Anthony Pearson, you know you’re in safe hands. Then again, if you’ve got Sammy’s other production under his Izmo alias such a recommendation would be unnecessary. A rolling bassline, smooth perpetual chords and a little bit of piano whisk you off to the nearest asteroid belt – this is dreamy space music.

This track has been played by more than one presenter on the EstimuloShow which is testament to it’s strength and it deserves a post in it’s own right. Released at the tail end of 2008, it’s a sleeper that gets better with repeated listens and it still widely available now. Like drinking that ‘extra’ glass of wine, it brings intoxication to the ears, a tapestry of swirling sounds that sweeps you up on a magic carpet ride into that perfect world that few tracks conjure up. Nor should the lushness of this track overshadow the other two tracks by Ron Trent and Trinidadian Deep, which in themselves still make this release worth buying. Seek and buy on sight!
