Monday Mix 180128: Opus III, Pet Shop Boys, Aphex Twin, Orbital, Hardfloor







For lush vibing and zoning.

I love classic Hardfloor, and their new album is a mature take on acid. I really enjoy it. This track is not indicative of the album, but I think the synth line is so groovy it fits as a nice cap to this playlist.

I have to admit that the Isley Brothers' "Footsteps In The Dark" sample is so iconic, that I do struggle during the parts when it's not playing, just waiting for the sample to come back.

I included a "More Mix" on this post to sort of chronograph use of the sample, from Compton's Most Wanted use of it in 1991, to 2017's Drunk album from Thundercat.
