“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”.

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.

After “Why Lie”, JTJ is back on Slothacid with an arpeggiated monster of a track featuring the talented It Bends on the vocals. I love what JTJ has been producing lately, a blend of weird, deep, bassy, ethereal, trippy and emotional house / techy music - bangers with character in a time when, I feel, a lot of music I hear is lacking that, in a time when most dance floors are (still) empty. Thanks Jeff for holding it down!

This record marks the 10th release on Slothacid, we did it baby!
We will keep going thru all this, for our own self care, creativity, entertainment, mental health, as well as yours if you‘re open to it. On that note: thank you for all for listening, I love you.
