Neurotica
Itâs been ten years since Drew Lustman aka FaltyDL last released on Planet Mu. In the meantime he's been running his own label Blueberry Records, been in-house producer for Mykki Blanco and has become a dad. The best things come out of play and it was Drewâs relationship with his young daughter that switched on this playful side of his music. The album in question, Neurotica, expresses Drewâs fun in creating such energetic pieces people will want to move to. It's a dizzying sugar-rush at a high-speed bounce; the music is fresh and inviting and most important of all, joyful."Summer of â24, we were in Catalonia. My girl, our young daughter, the old folks. Days by the village pool, afternoons on the dirtbike. At night, I made salads. Simple things. Good things. One afternoon, lying back, phone in hand, I saw a friend post a GRWM. The music behind it stopped me. A song grabbed hold. The track was âSecretâ by Mietze Conte, which is fast-paced euro-pop dance music, like soft fluffy gabber with childlike vocals. I hunted down the full version. Played it again. And again. Twenty times over the next few days. It unlocked something. The best music does that. Like the first time I heard Burial. Had to know what was happening under the surface. That time, it led to âLove Is A Liabilityâ in 2009. This time, it led to âNeurotica.ââ âI started to record, getting down fast, bright, sugar-rush sounds. 185 to 200 BPM. I wrote them quickâhalf a day per track. In between, I slowed things down. Gave space for breath. Mike Paradinas helped shape the album, his ear guiding the flow. I tested the tracks. Played them for kids barely out of diapers and grown folks who still move like they are. It worked, on all ages. I kept it simple. Only two rules: keep it moving and donât look at my phone. Cut the vocals like I used to.â âNeuroticaâ is FaltyDL with his mojo refreshed, a new life squared, do yourself a favour, crack a smile and feel the joy.
