Sam GreenwoodJordan Nocturne compiles the second instalment in his ‘From Belfast With Love’ series, this time supporting talent from across the city, but also extending a warm invite to some friends further afield.
Although the way in which we consume music has changed and clubs remain closed, Jordan Nocturne‘s ‘From Belfast with Love’ campaign shows a city standing in solidarity; free to create and connect to those willing to listen.
Across fifteen tracks, artists involved effortlessly move between ambient rich coloured worlds, acid-tinged goodness and rhythmically complex intricacies, inciting feelings of hope, wonder and private contemplation.
“Arvo Party and Gibsun provide two stunning pieces of work, as our windows are cracked open and we drift beyond the clouds to worlds less-known, shining a well-deserved light on new talent across the city. Matheson returns to the compilation series with a feel-good nostalgic bubbler, while Belfast’s Timmy Stewart debuts his To The Bone project- gifting us a brooding cut of carnivalesque energy. First-time contributors Tech Support and Zillas on Acid embrace odd-ball rhythms and an acid down-pour, giving the compilation a well-rounded edge that can transcend beyond any dancefloor“.
As well as the fifteen tracks submitted for the compilation, you can also purchase one of these exclusive prints by Andreea Ilisai here.
