Double LP
Missed this one at the start of the month, but what a beauty. London DJ/producer Call Super pays homage to the mix CD by adopting a series of aliases for a highly engaging arrangement of tracks that reveals the fella has a good number of weapons in his arsenal. Think of it as a pseudo roll through the Soundcloud algorithm, one track shifting into the next via connections that aren't necessarily obvious but feel spiritually/aesthetically/creatively united. The concept is a neat one, though if Call Super had just labelled this their new album, it would have worked just as well, displaying a range and invention not unlike that recent Skee Mask long player which similarly danced around tech-house, IDM, minimal techno, two-step and so forth. Elsewhere, you might hear ghosts of the Fabric mix CD series and how great the Villalobos, Omar S, Optimo and (whisper it) Diplo entries were in tying together disparate inspirations into one sense-making whole. A total flex of playfulness and skill, and highly enjoyable for it.
