Cloudface Devonian Gardenĭespite its name, Bubble World, with its thick, throbbing bass melody and metallic percussion, is a glimpse into the infrequently seen darker side of Mood Hut. Dip in below for a guide to the finest moments from one of the best underground labels going right now. Relaxed, sun-dipped and unrushed, their productions bring together everything from hardware driven techno to wind chimes and birdsong, '80s disco and early house rhythms. With new labels and record stores cropping up all over the city, it appears from the outside that Vancouver is experiencing somewhat of dance music renaissance.
Their sound is one that encompasses much of the electronic music coming out of Vancouver at the moment, which in a scene where small independent labels rub shoulders, co-creating music and working together, is hardly surprising. Were such an image ever to become reality, one imagines the trip would be taken aboard a red '80s convertible, with the top down and the tape deck blaring.įor a label that, in its infancy, released much of its material in cassette format, such invocations seem particularly appropriate. It is one that conjures up images of long summer days spent lying in parks and driving along coastal routes as the sun begins to set. Though label affiliates Cloudface, House of Doors, and the Pender Street Steppers boys each create their own distinct productions, collectively the Mood Hut sound is one epitomised by laidback new age sounds and primitive house grooves.
Hailing from the laidback ‘Canadian Riviera’ of Vancouver, Mood Hut have, in just a few years, established themselves as the go-to label for good vibes and hazy house.
