Forever

DJ Pythons Worldwide Unlimited net Lisbon legend Blastah for a bag of sensuous, playfully animated dembow, drill and kuduro mutations that sit ever so sweetly beside the labels gems from Sangre Nueva and Henzo.

Blastah blesses his debut firmware with a dreamily memorable set of six concise, lowkey burners that hover around reggaetons 100-110BPM brackets. Over the years hes developed an online penpal relationship with Brian Piero aka DJ Python, naturally leading to this shared conception of romantic club music with a mutable bent that lends itself just as easily to end-of-night slow jam sections as low lit bedrooms.

The vibe is perfectly sensuous and set in woozy soft focus, from the Elysia Crampton-esque, dusky fusion of R&B pads and soundsystem stabs on Raining to the neck-caressing nod to Timbaland and Timberlake in its Closer. A heartical deep house dembow sound is echoed on Cendres, and a prime fusion of US drill softened with subtropical appeal shapes Unknown and the slinky, subbass-gilded minimalism of Call, while Fish Friends most clearly betrays his taste for late night Lisbon tarraxho.

Up-to-the-moment, inch-tight, timeless pearls for the dancehall lovers.
