No Pain In Pop

That Doldrum Joy Sound

Peter O’Grady’s last mix - recorded for us under the Vitamin Club guise he shares with the infamous Impey - was a stunner, no rowing, and since then PO’G’s been played ‘out’ on Gilles Peterson’s Radio 1 show and at the end of this, the mix put together by Ben UFO of the mighty Hessle Audio to promote the label’s takeover of Fabric. Back now as Joy Orbison, Pete’s strung something to top nearly all the mixes I’ve heard this year; DLDRMS001 celebrating the imminent launch of his DOLDRUMS label (the lobster guards the flag). To these ears, the choicest cuts come with Karizma’s ‘Drumz Nightmare’, Martyn’s refit of Efdemin’s ‘Acid Bells’ and new Joy Orbison track ‘Tentative Bidding’ as well as, of course, Joy Orb’s monumental closer ‘Hyph Mngo’, due for release at some point in the near future through Scuba’s Hot Flush imprint. UK Funky, 2-Step, post-Dubstep sounds - it’s all gilded, all fresh, all sharp and completely on point, with a skip to evade the most fearsome of thugstep bores… DOLDRUMS in the mix, with a lurker intent; tracklist after the fold.
