Normally I'm a banger and bass type of guy, but sometimes I want something with a little groove. Something where the response is not in the build, but variation of beat. Pause with out cause, a lone snare reverberating for a bass drum to kick off the melody. The moment where the crowd lets off their shell in a hand clap and sine wave, not a DJ pouring vodka down their mouthes.

It's the girl in the paisley dress, dancing to herself; sometimes it takes courage to get on the floor and dance with her. In that brief moment of dancing with her you notice:

The way she tossed her hair.

The way her shoulders moved.

The way her hand moved down your back.

The way her feet moved away, but ever cautiously towards you.

And what seems like a flash in time, her friend calls her out for a cigarette.

And... That's what I think is what makes great disco. It's all in the chase. The songs are never long enough. Sometimes I wish I could sink into the lush sonic soundscape, but it's made to move to. That's where the fun is; the fleeting moment to let considerations aside. No matter how brief, experience it for what it is.

Futuristic zips, zaps, bleeps and blips brought to you by Reso. I always enjoy a tune that feels like being caught in the middle of some sort of twisted robotic feeding frenzy. This is what our children's children's children will be rocking out to.

There's a moose on the loose.

Few visual artists can capture the essence of life through sculpture. Basing his work off of the ever so apparent ideas of balance and symmetry, George W. Hart creates some truly astounding sculptures using a wide array of non conventional materials. While the pieces are best viewed in person, these digital images still make me green with envy. Each sculpture holds an immense amount of attention to detail all while retaining its own pleasing aesthetic. You can find pictures of most of his work at the link above. Much love Yooths!
