Simba – Phase Seq One [HOMETAPING018]

hipodrome, , , Leave a comment

New Home Taping artist Simba produces music that is full of soulful echoes, while still dripping in raw house music vibes. Nothing is too straight in the Simba sound as FX drift around and subtle production touches come at you from all angles. Vinyl hiss is as important as the kick drum and the overall atmosphere has that classic house music quality that can transport you instantly to another place. The Black Madonna was the one who drew attention to the rising talents of this young producer. So fittingly she delivers her own ‘Lost In Chicago’ take on the original, which delights in the track’s edginess and the wonderful release of the main hooks. All of which are given the trademark BM Chicago stamp, or should that be stomp Quality house music for the believers out there.

Simon Weiss – Yesterday Is Around [HOMETAPING011]

hipodrome, , 2 Comments

Simon Weiss’ debut solo release on the Hometaping imprint called “Yesterday Is Around”. There is an undeniable warmth to the expertly looped strings and delicate vocal sample that will turn many an ear, whilst the rhythms and textures are delightfully fuzzy. Alongside it Weiss flexes his percussive muscle on the expertly poised beatdown of “Bird Movement” which is notable for some excellent pitch shifted melodics, whilst “Body Signature” is delightfully sloppy.

The Revenge – Forever In Their Debt [HT001]

Home Taping Is Killing Music is a fresh new imprint that is all about a return to House Music. Producer of the moment The Revenge (Instruments of Rapture/Jisco Music) kicks things off for the label in fine style with the stunning >Forever In Their Debt<. A homage to the House producers that have influenced them and the artists whose samples have continued to drive House music forward Expertly channeling the spirit of early Chicago warehouse music, but with a modern production twist that truly captures that classic sound, but packs enough punch to wipe the floor with most of its peers. On the flip, maverick producer and DJ Red Rack em (Tirk/Untracked/Deep Freeze) takes the track on a road trip to Detroit, and produces a deep, moody and atmospheric version which brings to mind the work of Pepe Bradock and Theo Parrish. Two sides, two flavours. Both 100% House.
