DJ Olive - THWIS

"THWIS is a warm bass journey through the untravelled back streets of brooklyn's underground future dub landscape. Though you can hear the rootsy lovers feel THWIS is not a derivative dub record but a truly original reflection from one of brooklyn's loved underground producers. THWIS follows in the footsteps of Olive's classic Bodega release and his work with New York's legendary electronic trio We. There is little distortion on the bass and the kick is soft and warm making for a velvety sunrise vibe through out. The snare is surprisingly absent but then suddenly shows up like an old friend. Smokers Delight mixed with Boards of Canada mixed with Rhythm and Sound, THWIS puts its arm around your shoulder and walks you through the party with a calm inviting smile, making you body wander around the unicorn bass while the vintage analog synth tickles your head."

Here's the album preview -

Actually totally forgot about DJ Olive. I have his sleep 'trilogy' of albums which in the past have seen me through many a migraine recovery but I haven't thought to listen to any of them for quite a while now. This new album doesn't grab me quite as much as those ones did (although it's a very different style so maybe a little harsh to compare them)

i really enjoy dj olive releases on the room40, he's been plenty consistent all-around though. the We™ records are the ones i started on

the honeychild coleman vocal tracs are damaging this for me. aside from them, this is decent enough. i really like the agriculture, very smooth and soothing sounds

Wow, this is beautiful! I wouldn't expect something like this from someone with 'DJ' in his musician title (it's a potentially silly bias that I have). If he was involved with We™ them I am definitely on board!
