ESB – Constructed Grooves 3 [CG-03]
ESB is back with more of his Constructed Grooves. This third volume is another direct to dancefloor offering of stylish deep house. Opener ‘Stripe It’ is warm and dubbed out with wispy synths and nice muted chords. There is a little more swing and swagger to ’08 Track’ that taps into a classic dusty Detroit sound. The pace picks up with the hi-tech soul of ‘Pointsource’ and its sleek synth stabs and clacking hits. The fourth and final cut offers yet another house sound, this one with loopy melodic patterns and pixelated chords that dazzle and shine.
