Following four long years of sonic hibernation, the shadowy sneaker fiends behind the Shoebox series have decided to deliver a fourth EP of intoxicating musical fusions rich in dusty deepness, hazy grooves, kaleidoscopic electronics and glassy-eyed musical mysticism. Some tracks feed the dancefloor while others reward horizontal listening; all are suitably wide-eyed and tantalizingly tactile.

This is a 12” single by Shoebox, a previously unheralded blip on the electronic music continuum. They sometimes make music, but only when the moon is rising. Mostly, they bide their time, inhabiting the shadowy space at the back of the cupboard alongside out-of-date tins of food, unloved Christmas presents, forgotten records and misguided charity shop purchases. Electric Blue is their third hand-stamped record, and their first since 2013. It’s as dusty, fuzzy, musty, and intoxicating as their previous outings, shuffling between enveloping dancefloor voodoo and otherworldly downtempo beats. It contains five unlikely doses of off-kilter drum machine soul for horizontal joggers, wayward dancers and armchair ravers. The music contained within Electric Blue was created during sporadic Sunday night sessions spent hammering away on a well-worn MPC, mostly from beats, samples and melodies rediscovered in shoeboxes piled high with vintage zip disks. If you have any more questions, keep them to yourself. Shoebox isn’t about answers.
