SPF 50 - Social Life (Bliss Point) by SPF 50 published on 2024-06-18T18:30:14Z Available March 2023 Purchase: spf-50.bandcamp.com/album/social-life Stream: tr.ee/_hyhcHJwdw SPF 50, real name Stephan Kimbel Olson, is a resident of the longstanding Bob & Shirley party, runs the Professional Music label, and has graced New York’s finest sound systems with his deep, rolling club sets. In his numerous roles - DJ, engineer, party promoter, label head, producer and dancer - Stephan has become an essential contributor to the city's nightlife culture, a fixture in our extended sonic community. Stephan's first release on Bliss Point, Social Life, might well be a transmission from a nearby dimension; perhaps a collection of club artifacts peaking from just behind the thin veil. On Side A, Stephan has channeled two booming workouts, each with modular synthesis evoking the organic: an unruly bassline snakes through the aural fauna of "Body Concept", while breaks and acid fly by on "Liquid USB", an intricate sonic constellation propelling through space, culminating in the release of classic house chords midway. On the B side, Stephan takes us deeper into the unknown. "Grove Map" is world-building club ambiance aptly named after The Grove, a stage deep in the woods at New York's Sustain-Release festival, where portals have long been known to be opened. "Iris (Bad Water Version)”, rounds out the offering, a drippy dub that time seems to slip off of, perfect for a melted warm up or come down. I’m proud to welcome Social Life to Bliss Point, an offering for those familiar with the power of the deep, as SPF 50 is.
