- As producers who enjoy warping house music blueprints, Porn Sword Tobacco and SVN have a lot in common, but they also have their own way of doing things. The former is a sample enthusiast who digs for obscure sounds, thinly slices them and tosses them into downcast, mechanical atmospheres. SVN, on the other hand, raises faint pulses from salvaged circuitry, whisking them into strange, mesmerising rhythms.
Feels Good finds Porn Sword Tobacco's methods submerged into SVN's thick stew, particularly on the A-side. Instead of creating a forward motion, the hand percussion on "Untitled" feels like it's falling. As each drum lands, it creates a ripple effect—you can hear pieces of hand percussion and small modular noises bobbing around in the shallow pool. New details emerge with each listen, every note as small as a swab. The two stripped-back tracks on the B-side are more recognisable vessels for the pair's hypnotic house formula—the former in the vein of a DJ Sotofett record, the latter a bit harder—yet even in its diluted form, their shared sound remains potent.
