Keysound Recordings presents a weightless album from label boss Blackdown. “Those Moments” is his fi rst solo LP, features fellow “Margins Music” contributors Trim, Dusk & Farrah and, like the imprint’s Rollage sub series, is centered at 130 bpm. Each of the tracks is a distillation of a fleeting moment. The tracks and LP itself are short and constrained, relying on o nly voices, synths and sub bass. The album came about in a quick intense burst and many of the tracks represent snapshots of brief instances – a bitter - sweet moment of inflection, a moment of positivity, digital over stimulation, awe, loss, in tensity, anger, nostalgia, regret, honesty, relief and joy. “I’d had a tough 6 months...” explains Blackdown. “I’d had to hold it together and not lose my nerve. Early on in the months I’d so ne arly had a massive, positive life change but... it slipped out of my grasp. I was so focused on holding it together, I couldn’t allow myself to really write music. Then, when things resolved themselves, and I’d figured out this new weightless way of working, ‘Those Moments’ j ust came flooding out. I’d heard other mus icians talk about this – but that had never happened to me.” Recent releases from Rinse FM’s Blackdown include a contribution to the #SaveFabric CD, three 4 track 12”s of the new Rollage sub series (“WDYM?!”, “Keysound Sessions Anthem” and the “C - Troit” EP ) and a remix of Jamakabi & Terror Danjah’s “Juicy Patty.”
