Timothy J. Fairplay - Rule The Streets (2025)

Another Dungeon Module Production!!! This album was recorded in Timothys current studio, with his Casio RZ-1 central to the set up. 8 raw jack tracks inspired by the early days of house music, and catches Timothy at his most minimal. The early days of the Chicago and Detroit and how they drew influence from Europe in their stripped back sound is an endless influence on Timothys work. The bumpy opener Rule The Streets has a vocal refrain which sounds like something from a 70s gang movie. Insufficient Funds is a playful jam based around a junk shop delay unit. Pleasure Beach a house/funk beat track with an 8 bit sound. Back To The Stone Age with its flanger heavy percussion and a booming Adonis style vocal. Side B starts with Instant Replay with its rolling 808 toms and white noise intro. Safety Patrol has a deeper Mr Fingers feel, followed by the stalker-ish Gang Bass with its sampled live bass and strings. Last of all is Livin It Up made entirely with the sampler on the RZ-1 sounding like a Lil Louie demo. Mastered by Alden TyrellArtwork by Timothy J. Fairplay and Computerdisco.
