Next up on SLOTHACID is “City Wanderer” by  Poolhaus, a New York City - based DJ / producer duo featuring Devin and Sean. Since forming in June 2017, Poolhaus has amassed a substantial following in NYC and throughout the US, and is known for their unique blend of melodic deep and tech house with releases on the likes of Farris Wheel, Club Sweat, Hood Politics etc.
“City Wanderer” has an ethereal vibe that meanders thoughout the arrangement of this track. I love playing this track at a later time in my sets. Close your eyes and let it take you on a journey! - Love, Sacha

“Party Like 2019” is the final release of yet another strange year and comes courtesy of the Sloth boss himself, Sacha Robotti. Made during the pandemic, it didn’t have a title until recently.

Influenced sonically by Berlin in the 2000s, the track is both dark and silly. Featuring flamenco claps that mingle with off-beat noises and human interjections, cut & pasted over a caveman-like bass line that keeps thumping along, interlaced with psychedelic breaks with reverberated risers and framed by a funky sporadic guitar lick that reminds you to come back to earth every so often.

In his own words, “This track reminded me of the chaos I was living in throughout 2019, my relentless touring schedule and the party excess, as well as the premonition I had that something life changing on a planetary level was about to happen”.

JTJ returns to SLOTHACID with a new 4 track EP that features two vocal collaborations with label boss, Sacha Robotti.

"Do It Again" the title cut is a tried and tested peak time banger featuring a massive bassline, a catchy vocal recording by Sacha as well as glitchy high-end FX that take the track into another dimension. Just do it again!

"Pop That", an homage to weirdo grooves and UK fidget, retains the same energy: a sonic build up and once again, a Sacha vocal drop sees the track sit nicely between fidget & tech-house with a punk attitude with JTJ also supplying a dub mix.

Rounding off the EP, "Twenty 4 Seven" is a hypnotic house cut that sews this body of work together beautifully. Equally at home in warm up or peak time sets, this one shines a light on JTJs flexibility as a producer. Excited to share this music with you.

SLO021 was released on Friday 9/24/2021.

It's a family reunion! With Techno flowing in their blood, Detroit’s Dantiez and Damarii Saunderson - the two eldest sons of the one and only Techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson - take us on a journey with the EP’s title track, ‘Signature Move’. Offering both a radio edit and a dub version for those late-night dancefloors, this driving slice of melodic, progressive house features enchanting vocals from the Saunderson matriarch, legendary writer & vocalist Ann Saunderson which give the track a distinct old school flavour and more than just a nod to the family’s Detroit heritage.

“It’s about people who continually do this one selfish thing without thinking of the consequences it may have on others, and they do it so frequently that people associate that person with that selfish thing making it their "SIGNATURE" ND what they're known for.” - The Saunderson Brothers

On the B-side is ‘Body Banged Up’ - a late-night departure from the vocal-driven title track and instead is a demonstration in how techno ought to sound. One for the warehouse raves, ‘Body Banged Up’ brings enough ethereal melody to compliment the gritty synth-work that has become The Saunderson Brothers’ inimitable sound.

With rumours of a forthcoming remix from another significant member of the Saunderson family, ‘Signature Move EP’ looks set to become one of Slothacid’s standout releases of 2020.
