Keith Worthy – Moments In Rhythm Volume 3 [AES014]
Moments in Rhythm vol 3. was inspired by an in-depth conversation that questioned the level of importance that today’s society does or does not value it’s critical art forms, most specifically music … the universal language, as a means of free expression. From this passionate discussion spawned the composition of an opened ended letter, written in 4/4 format that captures and shares the passion of this conversation, and ultimately asks some questions such as … Is It In You?
Baaz – What About Talk About #1 [OFFICE001]
The debut release on Office Recordings is the first part of a series produced by label founder Baaz. “In My Mind” is a subtle, shiny piece of jazzyfied house music with a steady rolling groove and dirty kickdrum. “Glim” bangs the box with deep dubs and a sexy vigorous groove. The flip starts with two mind-bending downbeat cuts with a stumbling beat. Last but not least a slowburning remix of “Way Out Citti” by Matthias Reiling (Session Victim, Giegling Recordings) and Björn Astrup who did a brilliant job twisting the original into a soulful homage to the slow side of house
music.
Red Rack’em – If Only The Past EP [BERGERAC003]
Three track EP of pretty banging bassy techno and wonky house following up the first releases on the label. The title track, “If Only The Past”, plays tricks on your inner rhythm with its loose percussion, Detroit driven pads and a deep vocal injection. The bassline and the kick drum work in conjunction with an immersive bass tone, enveloping you in low-frequency hypnosis. “Alone Always” is a sluggish yet fiercely moving house jam. A well placed medley of samples, startling pads and sharp chords punctuate a penetrating beat – best suited to an early-morning, sub-level sweatbox.
