Call Super announces new album as part of ‘A Rhythm Protects One’ mix CD

Call Super has confirmed that their forthcoming ‘A Rhythm Protects One’ mix CD doubles up as a new artist album of their own. 

Initially announced in July, and set for release via Dekmantel’s label on 3rd October, the record’s tracklist features 12 previously unreleased cuts attributed to different acts, including Call Super and their well-known moniker Ondo Fudd. The artist, real name Joseph Seaton, has now revealed that all of the songs featured are in fact made by them.

To coincide with this announcement, they have also unveiled another track from the record, ‘Waterways’, which you can listen to below.

In a Substack post outlining their reasons for presenting the album in the format of a mix CD, Seaton said: “I have always found club music LPs too often bore me. Even when the music is great, the structure can be insipid. There are a couple of formulas that are rarely deviated from, and often the music itself doesn’t really serve the wonderful scope that the LP format can offer.

“[‘A Rhythm Protects One’] was, in essence, my first attempt at presenting a body of club tracks. I wanted to present them in a format that I think best serves club music – a mix – and to state that we need more physical DJ mixes to shape the general landscape of this media. The internet cannot do that alone. It is too shapeless. The markers, the series, the sites within are too endless. And endlessness depreciates meaning and form.”

‘A Rhythm Protects One’ will be released via Dekmantel on 3rd October. 

Speaking around the initial announcement, Seaton said: “There is a line in the Malgo & KVS track that goes, ‘I must be the place where the storm catches breath’. The line captures that feeling of the best of times in a club, where everything slips away in terms of time and you feel like you’ve reached a place beyond the outside world, a place of your own that is somehow communal with those around you.

“The mix was meant to be an honest reflection of those moments for me as a DJ. The zones that somehow encapsulate the physical and mental harmony you feel in that place. This is a mix for that zone.”
