Sal Dulu – Girl

Girl is the latest single to be taken from Irish producer Sal Dulu’s forthcoming debut album, Xompulse, which is set for self-release via his own Duluoz Records this February. The last track I featured of his was the impeccable Alien Boy 96, and while Girl is similarly constructed of hazy, sun-bleached sample, it’s loser and more laidback, sitting somewhere between the carefree nostalgia of The Avalanches and the free-wheeling beats of J Dilla. I’m a big fan of everything he’s been putting out recently, so consider this your formal warning to jump on the hype train before the album lands next month.

Sal Dulu – Alien Boy 96

Alien Boy 96 is the first single to be released from Irish producer Sal Dulu’s forthcoming LP, which will be landing early next year. If you want a pretty lazy comparison, it’s a little reminiscent of The Avalanches, both in its cut-and-paste approach to the production and in the yearning, melancholic atmosphere conjured by the tapestry of samples and beats. In the press release for the single, Dulu says it’s “probably not the most representative in terms of what the album is about”, which from where I’m sitting would be a bit of a shame, as it’s really, really good.
