Description
Neon Dreams is the debut album from London-based producer and Night Slugs co-founder James Connolly, aka L-Vis 1990. Across 15-tracks and 55-minutes, James distils a lifetime's worth of musical influences and experiences while conveying the story of the last 12 months in his life through vocalists Samantha Lim and Javeon McCarthy !Neon Dreams were composed exclusively using hardware gear, taking in an array of classic synthesizers along with the Roland TR-707 drum machine which features on each of the 15 tracks.
Neon Dreams uses house music as a platform from which to explore a multitude and styles and textures. These veer from the Franco-flourishes and full Javeon McCarthy vocal of first single "Lost in Love", to vivid narrative numbers like "Play It Cool", the darker recesses of "The Beach", through to late-summer slow-jam "One More Day". Although during the process of recording Neon Dreams James extended himself far beyond his initial idea to produce a 'futuristic Chicago house record', what does remain is a level of honesty and openness that was so symptomatic of house music's formative years in the city.
