Bleeding genre downbeat for 2010 from Throwing Snow aiming toward that fringe area where a loose preference for similar moods and sound palette are all that’s asked. Hovering around an inclination towards the beat scene blanketed in a fresh coat of garage and dubstep rhythms. Warm and deep like a walk in a windless snow storm. Giant flakes flutter about, insulating sound and emphasizing its size while keeping the cold at bay, the bright white imbued with an amber glow by streetlights. The featured track was originally posted on Req Effect but is liberated from file sharing land at the word of its creator. Peep dude’s free Greymatter remix and recent Ho Tep release as well.

To avoid any hating, listen to this track before reading on. It’s probably an easy guess anyway.

Finished? Ight, then. The switched up beat, the polyrhythm drum madness, the chopped vocals and horns, and yes, even the incessant whistle in the background. They all combine to make for an intelligent, sweaty and moody night. We are not fans of vocal house, nor are we fond of lyrics about love. But this one is just crispy. Besides, it’s Deee Lite. What do you expect? The song is “Bring Me Your Love (Johnny Vicious Cosmic Isness Remix)” from the secret track on their 1994 album, Dewdrops in the Garden. It’s crazy that musicians like this used to be on MTV. Painting by Sylvia Ji.
