LP version. Yellow vinyl. Sudi Wachspress returns to Tartelet Records with Dance Planet, a third LP of emotionally-charged house music to welcomes you back to the dancefloor. The spirit of true house runs deep in the sound of Space Ghost. Oakland native Sudi Wachspress is intuitively plugged into the romantic, mystical energy of 4/4 club music as a unifying force of empowerment and liberation, carrying the torch from vital forebears like Larry Heard, Alton Miller, and Blaze. His new album, Dance Planet, carries a greater responsibility to spread spiritual affirmations. As the global dancefloor community emerges from a mentally-taxing recess and confronts their social self like it's the first day of school, Space Ghost's message couldn't be more supportive. "Don't be afraid to be yourself, don't be afraid to let go," he intones on "Be Yourself". More than just a beat and a hook, his music is pointedly created to heal and energize. "I'm a big fan of old-school house vocals that have a positive message," says Space Ghost, "tracks that can perhaps enhance your mood or strengthen your confidence in yourself." Wachspress has always represented a beacon of musical uplift, both on his previous Endless Light (TART 008LP, 2018LP) and Aquarium Nightclub (TARTALB 011LP, 2019) LPs for Tartelet and on his swathes of self-released music and 2020's Free 2 B on Apron. Compared to most house-oriented artists, he places emphasis on the long-player format to create an encircling experience for the listener, smoothing out psychic wrinkles and massaging areas of tension for a fully holistic hit. For fans of: Larry Heard, Ron Trent, Dam-Funk, Moon B.
