Premiere: These Things Take Time Vol. 002 - "In My Dreams, All Night Long"
A chaotic full moon, another lockdown, and an endless deluge of shocking news call for a much-needed break. It’s Bandcamp Friday after all, so another great opportunity to stock up on some dreamy dance tunes. Support Black artists, support your friends, support your community.
The LA-based label, These Things Take Time, is releasing their second compilation album today, featuring several track by familiar faces - Martyn Bootyspoon, Farren Laen, Unknown Mobile, and Regularfantasy. It seems like everything takes ~ a lot ~ more time these days, but as we’re all learning, you have to be patient with yourself - this album acknowledges that the time you invest pays off.
Press release below:
Title track, “Caress,” is the latest work by the talented flora resident, Sweater, from our old home in Philadelphia. Following is Vancouver's Livy Lou’s masterful “Running Around,” ideal for the escapism world we need so desperately right now. Next up fellow Canadian, Martyn Bootyspoon, comes with the highway go to, “Throw It In Reverse.” We are very happy to welcome Martyn and more Montreal greats to the label. Farren Laen is one of these greats. Running a label with Martyn in Montreal, and delivering the graceful “Sydney.” Our lovely and familiar label mate, DJ Dre continues with a new touch to his sound resume with “LVR.” Unknown Mobile stays on beat with “Tired,” a true gem waiting for the dancefloor in the future. Switching up is production duo Blue Island Ave from the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago; much more to come from them. The head, B. Hayes, and highly illusive Flourene then conclude in relaxed, downtempo energy. Thank you for listening.
