The first rain of the winter. The first flower to bloom in spring. The first autumn leaves to change their color. The first NO BIAS release of the year. We all have our little moments to help us mark the passage of time, and this is a big one for every Bay Area music lover. For their 23rd release, the unstoppable SF dance label brings us two ravey singles (plus a drumapella and alt mix) from everyone’s favorite producer and DJ, Bored Lord. “Rom Play” starts out as pure beat bliss: first warehouse-rattling kick, then jumpy hi hats, and then phased out snare, until finally heavenly lofi synths get glazed over the whole thing. Likewise in the 140 BPM range, “Generator 2080” applies similarly simple ingredients, building up around soaring synths and a cut up vocal sample to keep the party moving. Condolences if you missed Bored Lord spinning with Bastiengoat at Underground SF this past Friday!
