Richard Sen – My Definition Of Funk EP [PR26]

Since 2014, Public Release has been enlisting the raw, trademark groove of Richard Sen on a variety of remixes, so it was inevitable that a solo EP would eventually materialize. Now the UK legend drops his solo EP “My Definition of Funk” on Public Release. These three raw, gritty, hard-hitting, peak-time tracks are quintessential Richard Sen, combining the energy and influences of post-punk, breaks, and house in one sturdy sonic package.

Ghost Train – Ghost Train [EES008WL]

New mysterious release on Emotional Especial. First track ‘Ghost Train’ is a shouty dischordant dance floor number that hits all the right spots. It cleverly builds tension through it’s shifting synth line, avoiding all the usual dance floor clichés whilst still managing to retain the right energy. It comes with a dub version on B side. B1’s ‘Meteor Shower’ continues in the same vein though is the more subdued of the pair, with trance leaning synths underpinning more spooky synth work. It doesn’t kick as much as the A side but will find favour with DJs unafraid to mix things up stylistically. listen1 / listen2
