Chant in the Dark

by Dani Orbit & the Pulse

Five short club chants about last songs and station platforms, made fast after the first record took off.

Tracks

  1. 1. Don't Stop, Not YetOne more song, and then one more again. The call-and-response here was written for a room that will not go home.call-and-response, anthemic techno3:39
  2. 2. Right on TimeA departure board flipping letters, turned into a hi-hat pattern. Teo patched the clicking by hand.modular techno, playful techno3:57
  3. 3. Orchard LampsLamps in the trees and ladders against the night. A warm, rolling arpeggio for a harvest party we played in a field.trance arpeggio, festival techno3:25
  4. 4. Crate Digger's SaturdayEarly at the record fair with a pile of boxes. A confident groove with a vocal chopped like a sleeve flicking past.chopped vocal, groove techno2:56
  5. 5. Spokes in the StreetlightSpin, spin, spin the wheels. We ended on a loop that feels like a bike light going round and round.hypnotic techno, chant techno2:59

Liner notes

After Blackout Sessions we had a van, a rack of cables and too many ideas. These five came out in one week of nights. Every one is built around a phrase you can shout back without knowing the words. Teo kept the patches simple and I kept the chants shorter. It is a record for the end of the night.
