Tom Trago’s Voyage Direct label returns to action with a brand new 12” from Amsterdam scene stalwart Simon Weiss. The gloriously positive ‘Tele-Vision’, and it’s cyber-house fusion of darting synthesizer arpeggios, Detroit-influenced percussion, and thrusting acid bass – that heads up Weiss’ first EP for Voyage Direct. Dutch veteran and longtime friend of the family Dexter turns in a stunning remix, putting a well-placed boot up the backside of Tele-Vision.
Simon Weiss with his first solo EP for Rush Hour. With his ‘Wave EP’ Simon delivers a tasteful and fun package, four house tracks that ride the thin line between retro and current, without trying to sound like either one.
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.
