My year in electronic dance music 2022: February
Hi, my name is Carson Warnes and I'm from London. I'm neither a DJ nor a producer, just a music fan. Full Leopard is my way of documenting the singles, albums, mixes, and radio shows I've been enjoying (at home, mainly).
Radio show: PENDER STREET STEPPERS W/ FREAK HEAT WAVES
Pender Street Steppers encourage anyone who wants to get in touch with them to do so via email and early last year I exchanged a few pleasant messages with Liam Butler, one half of PSS. The other member, Jack Jutson (AKA Jack J), is releasing an album soon.
Radio show: CHANNELING W/ IVAN SMAGGHE & NATHAN GREGORY WILKINS
These two play some weird stuff which isn't always to my taste, but it's good to be challenged right? Anyway, the last 30 minutes or so of this show are mesmerising.
Radio show: FINN PLAYS BRETT DANCER
I wasn't familiar with Brett Dancer before listening to this show, which is a great introduction to the Baltimore-based producer's body of work.
Album: Kelvin Momo - Ivy League
Described as amapiano but to these ears, it's just groovy and laid-back.
EP: PST Workshop 31
When Workshop release something, it's always worth checking, such is the quality of their discography. PST AKA Porn Sword Tobacco (great name) continues the tradition.
Rediscovering: Atlantic Ocean - Waterfall
I recently heard this on one of DJ Moxie's Instagram stories and it reminded me how much I enjoy a bit of 90's Euro House.
Single: Jaden Thompson - Doin' It (JT Edit)
Catchy AF.
Mixes:
LIKEHOLYWINE: Deep South Podcast 90
Club Fitness: Good Morning, Angels
Radio shows: On the 23rd NTS had one of those days where every show seemed to hit the spot!
There was a real urgency to this one, featuring one of my all-time fav's, 'W' by Cobblestone Jazz.
KAIZEN W/ MADAM X B2B JAY CARDER
Techno workout featuring Le Motel's hypnotising ‘Work Yo Back'.
Any show that starts with Skiifall & Badbadnotgood’s 'Break Of Dawn' is gonna get my attention.
UNITED IN FLAMES W/ AIRFLO & MALIBU
Ambient trance goodness.
Short film: Sail We Must: A Sea Story of Andrew Weatherall & An Irish Fisherman | The Tenth Man
A fascinating insight into the legend.
Watch/listen: Blind Test // 90s Techno #2 - Episode 6 (Electronic Beats TV)
This series is a great way to (re)discover music.
If you’ve been reading, thank you, that's it for this month. I hope you found some music to enjoy that you may otherwise have missed! Here's the link to a Spotify playlist (updated regularly) featuring many of tracks on this blog: Full Leopard: My year in electronic dance music 2022.
I've also started a Buy Music Club list.
