TOP 5 LOCKDOWN PURCHASES.. 5 records in 5 days

🔺🅳🅰🆈 🅵🅸🆅🅴 Soul Dhamma – Flower (King Britt’s Underwater Garden Dub) 🔺
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb6yNjwGRPE

It’s time for my last record of this series, and we’re going out with a bang. I first heard this record posted on a Broken Beat Facebook group I’m in called ‘Broken Beats for the Dancefloor, not for Latte Macchiato Shops’..

The OP said something like ‘this is real trance music’ (I’m actually quite partial to some early 90s tech-trance - shout out 2trancentral which is an amazing YouTube channel for finding old, underground trance tunes), but it definitely piqued my interest, being a broken beat forum.

And, I think it’s a perfect description for this tune. To me it is like broken beat trance music, and I think it would melt some minds on the dancefloor if played in the right context.

TOP 5 LOCKDOWN PURCHASES.. 5 records in 5 days

🔵 𝔻𝔸𝕐 𝔽𝕆𝕌ℝ – Doris Laize 🔵

Full disclosure, I only found out about this record this week, so haven’t yet bought it, but take a listen – it’s a gorgeous tune, and the backstory is crazy. Thank you George for the tip, now to save up to buy it!

///////////////////////

- Doris Laize was seventeen when she wrote and recorded this record. She funded the release herself, and basically sold the copies she pressed to her teachers and schoolmates.

- There’s not much information about the release online, but I looked through the YouTube comments for this tune, and there is a comment from ‘Doris Perreaux’, thanking the YouTube channel for uploading her music and sharing it with the world.

- Her voice is haunting, and the production is ace considering it was a local studio making a track for a seventeen-year-old!
