Mists’ was previously unreleased but unmistakably Schatrax. Submerged beats, a skippy groove and a simple effective riff are the essence of the track while ‘Keep On Loving’ injects a glorious uplifting feel with a bouncing b-line and classic piano riff. Flipsides ‘The Almighty’ keeps things deep whilst ‘Aliena’s Groove’ is one of Schatrax’s signature tracks with it’s haunting melancholic riff keeping the emotions high.
Dutch newbie Ivano Tetelepta steps up to the plate for his 2nd release on Fear of Flying; ‘I Think About You’ is a sleek slow burning groove with hypnotic undertones, the repeated female vocal and sharp hi hats giving the track it’s dance floor impetus. ‘Taksi’ takes an altogether different path – pumping up the beats for a slice of pure peak time phunk whilst ‘Open Moment’ injects a light melodic feel over dubbed out beats – one for early mornings and a fine way to end a really well balanced release.
Fear Of Flying ploughs a furrow through the hazier realms of dance music, the ethos more focused on the ‘after party’ than the main dance floor & the emphasis being on dubby beats and deep musical treats in all their various forms.
