Michael J Blood – Cause & Effect Vol 1

Crash landing onto the scene in 2017 with his now legendary NTS broadcast of 2 hours of unheard music, the ultra-mysterious and enigmatic Michael J. Blood has gone on to release a series of sought after, lush and rugged future classics on his own imprints Blood Inc. And BodyTronixxx. Allegedly hailing from Manchester in the North of England, Blood's sound is hard to pin down but instantly recognizable. Rooted in the twin foundations of modern dance music-Detroit and Chicago-while schooled in the sweaty basements of Manchester's fêted club scene, his music feels both original and familiar, timeless yet unplaceable. Weaving together a hypnotic narrative that feels both archival and futuristic, Cause & Effect Vol. 1 brings together some of Blood's rare and hard to find bangers from a variety of his early sold out projects. The collection mixes the pulse of Chicago with the grit and cosmic dreams of Detroit, while never losing sight of the North of England's sophisticated late-night sleaze. Blood's dance-floor eclecticism and raw, infectious mutant beats drive a soulful, jazz-louche energy into every track. The result is a collection of atmospheric grooves that weave together hypnotic rhythm and smoky texture, blurring house, techno, broken beat, and jazz-soaked electronics into a heady trip. Cause & Effect Vol. 1 maps out the restless evolution of Blood's sound, a testament to his instinct for rhythm, atmosphere and dance-floor alchemy. House for the heart, techno for the mind, both built for the body. It's in the Blood.
