Perseus Traxx / Aroy Dee – Hope EP [PF001]
First appearance of this small-scale vinyl imprint from the east of Holland with a split-release by the well-respected Aroy Dee and Perseus Traxx. Both of them are known for their deep analogue house music productions with raw and sharp edges, but most recognizable in their work is the presence of true emotions. This will also be the distinctive element for the labels future output: emotive electronic music with the soul deep within. Honest and unpolished music that is inspired by everyday life, whether it comes from pain or joy. Perseus Traxx kicks off with an immersive, slow building and uplifting track, followed by a moody but hypnotic and slightly acid inspired piece. Aroy Dee takes care of the flip-side, with a dreamy and atmospheric track, and one raw, surprising and energetic cut.
Tom Demac – Obstructing the Light EP [GT004]
Tom Demac makes the step up to the Glass Table imprint with a far ranging three track EP. ‘Obstructing The Light’ is a lazy and moody soup of swirling deep house. Dreamy voices drift like clouds above a chugging kick clap combo as light finger melodies keep things from growing all too dour. ‘Four Leaves Right’ is a quicker joint, but the moods are still studiously sombre and melancholic. There’s an irresistibly swinging arc to each kick that really sweeps you up, along with a deep, buried, bobbling Bristol bass-like b-line to keep things firmly rooted on the dancefloor despite the dream-pop vocals and layers of intricate percussion.
