Benjamin Damage Doc Daneeka: Halo

Benjamin Damage & Doc Daneeka: Halo

The latest from Modeselektor’s 50 Weapons imprint is They!Live, an album-length collaboration from UK funky/deep-techno types Benjamin Damage and Doc Daneeka.

After their previous output, the album’s actually surprisingly subdued, with dusky synths over crisp, pitter-pat drums, but play it loud, and its full potential is immediately apparent.

The video here is for album cut ”Halo," a meditative bubbler perfect for warm-up sets and Valentine’s Day mixtapes; it features vocals from the relative newcomer Abigail Wyles, a name you’re sure to be hearing much more from soon. Keep an eye out for Doc Daneeka and Abigail Wyles’ “Toby Jug,” coming in March from the Ten Thousand Yen label.
