Pete Chambers from mnml ssgs got me onto this: Terre Thaemlitz as his politically charged deep house alter ego DJ Sprinkles makes an album of absolutely gorgeous, lustrous deep house, strewn with embittered soundbytes railing against the disenfranchisement of gay/transgender/black/hispanic house fans by capitalism, in particular Madonna, who gets targeted for particular ire owing to "Vogue". People might be familiar with earlier (and also fab) release "Sloppy 42nds".

Thematically it's like a queer-Pipecock, but musically it's totally undeniable - like Moodymann meets Playhouse meets really lush stuff like early Deep Dish or Dubtribe Sound System at their best. Lots of tinkling pianos, ear-tickling rhythms, and melodies that swell up irresistibly like a good pill. In particular "Sisters, I Don't Know What This World Is Coming To" is like peaking into the mind of God.

Tip!
