Radio Slave My Bleep (Roman Fluegel Mix) (Rekids) Voiski Ad Infinitum. Self-referencing intro aside, it's about as easy-going a set as you'll get from one of underground dance music's biggest names. Global Underground proudly present their celebratory eighteenth year and landmark. Just as he has in his production career, Joy Orbison takes his time on RA.331, a slow churn of warm techno and subtly steppin' R&B-inflected house with heat that sneaks up on you. It's been a pretty good look for him.Įxcitement still bubbles up whenever Joy O drops a new side, either solo or with kindred spirit Boddika but he certainly doesn't sound like he's chasing past glory on recent hits like 'Ellipsis' and 'Swims.' If anything, he's taken an admirably laidback approach, nurturing a sound that nods increasingly to his early influences with a sprinkling of the nervy now-ness that defined his first hit.

But rather than trip up trying to match or even leap over the hype, Peter O'Grady took the opportunity to just be himself. Marking the 40th edition in the seminal GU ‘City’ series, Global Underground delivers in style with a stunning mix from one of the biggest DJs in the World Solomun.

We don't often talk about 'one hit wonders' in dance music-that sort of spectacular taking over of the planet and then falling clean off it is generally a cliché of pop-but few producers have as much to live up to after their first release as Joy Orbison: no tune since, and not many in the recent past before it, has been the bona fide phenomenon that his debut 'Hyph Mngo' was in 2009.

Voiski ad infinitum
