THUMP've got very sentimental memories attached to Belgian producer Mugwump. On our 20th birthday we got very pissed at home, ate a pizza, got a taxi to a new closed club in Aldgate with at least six of our friends, did two pills and watched the Kompakt affiliated producer spin dubby disco and wonked out house all night long. We remember thanking him profusely as the lights went on for playing "Precious Little Diamond" by Fox the Fox before boarding a bus home and nipping into the corner shop for two bottles of red and a bag of Snyder's at 9am. Crazy days indeed!Now we're older and wiser and prefer to be in bed by 11pm we're able to appreciate Geoffroy Mugwump for the talented artist he is, and we're able to get excited when he talks about releasing new films to accompany new records. Taken from his debut album, the fantastic, Subfield released Unspell, "After They Fall" is an acid-soaked, super-slow, luridly thick slab of gravity-free cosmic disco with vocals from Circlesqaure, and it comes with suitably slow visual accompaniment which we're premiering here on THUMP.The Sam Kadz directed film—not video— follows on from two other recent audio-visual collaborations. Featuring what looks like every senstivie lad at 6th form who was destined to become a male model despite being a Baudelaire reading recluse throwing himself around like an E'd up Ian Curtis, it's a mesmerising, seductive, weirdly sexy little film. Tune in and turn on now.The After they Fall Remixes EP is out now on Subfield/!K7. You can buy it here.Follow Mugwump on Facebook // SoundCloud
