John Graham, better known as Quivver, and fellow collaborator Dave Seaman have careers spanning over decades in house music. Each has helped define the trajectory of the culture and continue to build on their stellar reputations.
With this release on Steve Bug’s Poker Flat Recordings, the pair demonstrate some of the key traits that have marked their careers - beautifully crafted, euphoric electronic music designed for the dance floor.
Rockets & Rainbows features Brianna Price on vocals and is a deep, moody groover. RISE resident Floyd Lavine reworks the track also on this release, adding a bubbling, off-kilter acidic edge.
Last up is Not This Time - a tough, funky roller with a juicy disco vocal sample.

If you're expecting Sasha's trademark progressive house/trance on his latest release, you will be sorely disappointed. Pivoting from-and deliberately not creating the status quo of electronic music-Sasha curates a lavish landscape that delves into avant-garde and "anti-dance dance music' territories with this stunning release of lush ambient soundscapes, surrealist breakbeats, subterranean techno, and laid back downtempo cuts. This is a deep, contemplative music you can dance to, sort of. DAS VILLAIN
