Trevor Deep Jr – Tapes EP [NSYDE010]

July 18, 2014June 26, 2019 hipodromedetroit techno, dub techno, king shorty, nsyde music, trevor deep jrLeave a comment

Finnish deep house champ Trevor Deep Jr takes a break from releasing for Delsin and his own HPTY imprint to drop this delectable set of jams for Nsyde. There is a distinct dubby lilt to Trevor’s output, and that comes through in abundance with the carefully treated chord that pulses through the core of lead track “Merge”. However that track is still operating in the Basic Channel school of dub, while “Blunted” flips the script to a Rhythm & Sound style romp through rootsy steppers rhythms and choice guitar plucks. “Believe Dub” ramps the energy back up with a housey groove around which cavernous synths can echo and throb, making for a damn fine addition to the tradition of dubwise dance music.

Developed and refined from Sutherlands improvised live show, the ‘Edges E.P.’ glides between the sparse melodic funk on Sunday Flower to the tightly-wound house shuffle of Speaking Your Language. The title track rounds out the B-side – a long rollicking hardware jam, all Juno brass and marching band snares.

Classic 90s acid unleashed again in the 21th Century, Forced Nostalgia revisit choice tracks from US DJ and producer Woody McBride. These four tracks, remastered for this release, appeared on several of the veteran’s releases two decades ago but are every bit as urgent today. ‘The Head Is Not Longer Than The Body’, unrelenting in its forward motion, takes a simple acid riff and keeps on pushing until the pressure is unbearable. ‘Pasture’s Star Route’, with its scattered snares and pounding techno kicks, throws down a haunting acid riff that pans through the body, let alone the speakers. There’s just as much terror in ‘Out Of Reach’ and ‘Pure Ideas’ even if the latter is slower and more delicate in its approach.
