For the perfect a part of the previous decade, Chicago DJ Marea Stamper, AKA the Blessed Madonna, has constructed a status for whipping dancefloors right into a euphoric frenzy along with her crate-digging mixes of home, techno and disco. As a producer, she has channelled this high-octane sensibility into remixes for the likes of Dua Lipa and Robyn. Now, on her debut album, Godspeed, Stamper presents a sprawling odyssey that ranges from radio-friendly options to darker, bass-heavy tracks.
On the industrial finish of the spectrum are pleasing if unoriginal numbers such because the piano home party-starter Fringe of Saturday Night time with Kylie Minogue; James Vincent McMorrow breakbeat characteristic Model New; and Jacob Lusk disco curler Mercy Pt 2. Godspeed grows extra distinct when Stamper delves into the murkier corners of the dancefloor – the hammering techno bass of Someone’s Daughter; the gritty, jacking home of Blessed Already and chopped fractal vocals of Power (R U Prepared).
But at a gargantuan 24 tracks, the album as a complete dangers subsuming these body-shaking numbers with the load of its remaining filler, making Godspeed a wonderfully pleasing document that packs in an excessive amount of to make it memorable.
