Hi there. My name is Elias. I am a new contributor to CJMILLI. In a fiendish attempt to infiltrate all that is neon, seapunk, reddit-like, and covered in titties (these probably won’t go away, after all everyone loves titties) I have come here to try and balance the equation, so to speak. I’ll be sharing music with you that I like and enjoy and think you might like and enjoy as well. However, allow me to blunt. Not everything I post will be brand spanking new, obscure, or on the cusp of ‘awesome’. Rather, I will post what I think is worth talking about – music that I find relevant. Mind you, most songs will fall into the categories of UK garage/witch house/minimal dub/experimental/deep house/funk/nu-disco/etc. but there is no rhyme or reason as to what I select, it’s simply just an array of shit that I think is legit as fuq.
Let’s start with something super fresh. This new 12″ from Eliphino garners the same reaction I have had about Eliphino tracks in the past. It does not follow a classic flow/build style, instead choosing to slowly work its way up, constantly building the tension and excitement only to drop out into an amazing upbeat techno barrage. I’m pretty sure I’ll be hearing both of these songs on the regular gracing club nights that pride themselves on well engineered deep house music experiences.

VILL?GE is a rather new find for me, as well as only recently gracing the music scene (his oldest track on Soundcloud is from just over 5 months ago). Carrying over many classical garage elements in his sound, the blissful liquid baselines coupled with synthesized vocal cuts give way to a very ethereal sound. This smooth almost hypnotic sound evolves and changes as more structural elements slowly build into the sound. High hats and vocal lines drive the song, all while taking the listener on a distinctly unique musical PCP trip of sorts (no bath salts plz).

Tennis Rodman is the perfect blend of witchy weirdness, grimey elements that echo chopped and screwed musical techniques of 90s hip hop, and rich bass lines. His sound – much like his album art work – epitomize the weirdness that is his sound. These three tracks are from his recently released “Eat Gold EP.”

On the funkier side of things, I cannot get these disco tracks out of my head or my playlists as of late. Azari and Ill first came on my radar with their remix of Days by CREEP along with their debut single Manic. Since then I have been drawn to that whiney black man’s voice and undulating funk sound that their tracks always seem to have. This one particular remix of ‘Hungry for the Power’ really has had me hooked for ages.

Hush Hush Pony is legit as fuq. Funky to the highest degree. Need I say more?

A new remix from Daniel Avery of Munk’s Kitchen Call. Quite a relaxed remix and a very interesting re-imagination of the original track. Throw in an oldie by Jupiter just to round out this disco section.

To top it off, I’ll end with a bit of Mosca. A UK music producer whom I’ve admired for quite some time for his wide range of sounds and his ability to build both wonderfully lounge/ambient music, as well as more dance-floor appropriate deep house magic. These first two tracks taken from his latest EP “Eva Mendes” have a much smoother, but still lovely, vibe than the following two older tracks of his (Nike/Bax.)

Anyway that’s all for me. Hope you enjoy the tunes and feel free to let me know your thoughts and opinions, always on the look out for new awesome artists to feature in the future so if you think you’re awesome (you’re probably not) feel free to use the contact section to get in touch and share your weirdness with me. This has been Zero Fucks Given Vol. 1, I bid you adieu.
