As I began reviewing Timonkey’s newest album, Future Perfect (Muti Music), I knew I had to lay down on my couch for this. As I hit “play,” otherworldly dubbed out journeys through the minds sky began to knit the hemispheres of my brain. Shall I say: wobbly sonic scrub a dub dubs pound you like a massage therapist chewing at your muscles or an all consuming audio brew hand crafted by a Chinese herbalist to cleanse and re-pattern your Chi? Both!

As his press release states: “10 years ago, Timonkey climbed a massive Redwood tree that towered above a renegade party in the Santa Cruz Mountains. As the sun rose, he received the inspiration for what has been his mission ever since: to make the best sunrise music ever. Delivering a proper morning set is a delicate art: the dancers need strong energy to keep going, but they are also craving something different by this point in the experience. Timonkey is one of the few DJ/Producers who… can give a long night of rave and revelry the closing ritual it deserves.”
