Ron Obvious takes the helm once more for the fifth release from London’s L.B Produce imprint. Coming through once more with their speciality blend of deep, jacking house cuts ‘Reseda Drive-in’ sees bouncing drum tracks collide with low slung synth lines and curated vocal sample chops.
Neither L.B. Produce or mysterious production outfit Phrased give much away, aside from a few hints at their love of old music-making hardware. That trait comes to the fore on this third Phrased 12″. Musically, it’s pleasingly varied, moving from the fluctuating acid lines, Detroit electro swing and sci-fi electronics of “Star Making”, to the hypnotic, becalmed, ambient dub flex of closer “Morello”. Along the way, they also find time to squeeze in a dash of ultra-deep IDM (the blissful “Diatom”), and an impressive excursion into classic, dubby deep house territory (“What’s Good For You”).
L.B. Produce return for their third release. Ron Obvious takes the helm this time round and delivers four sweltering, club ready house tracks. Deep, pounding bass pulled straight from the D, transient machine percussion, emotive pad work and some choice vocal snippets.
Solid deep cuts from anonymous label L.B. Produce. Cosmic synths and crisp shuffled drums combine on a raw but classy debut release from Phrased. Sweaty basement live jams recorded direct to tape.
