The Rhythm Odyssey & Dr Dunks – Fox [CHANNEL031]
For those unwilling to participate in Golf Channel’s “catch me if you can” white label release antics, you can now indulge in the latest example of Eric Duncan’s prospering production relationship with Dean Meredith in this fully finished edition. As The Rhythm Odyssey and Dr Dunks, the pair have already served up two plates of incendiary discotheque burners for Golf Channel and this two track Fox 12″ is every bit as good. The A Side ‘Version’ of “Fox” plummets down the disco rabbit hole with dubby abandon, acting as a precursor to the technicolour delights of the original on the flip, which is blessed with a rawness akin to early Chicago house.

The Rhythm Odyssey – Celestial Vibrations EP [REKIDS063]
Dean Meredith, a veteran of dance music bestows the ‘Celestial Vibrations EP’, a flawless package of original material under project alias The Rhythm Odyssey that’s all acidic analog rawness and fuzzy vintage synths. Kicking off with ‘Ride On This’, a distant cowbell is soon engulfed by a marauding acid bassline. Tough and sexy, rich in rhythm and analogue drums, it’s no doubt got that air of warehouse nostalgia. Next up, Detroit-inspired ‘I Need It’ journeys into a deeper realm of hiss and noise, ‘get on and party’ vocals and the melodic synth line, soon melting into lush chords. On the flip, more raw percussion collides with a cosmically funky edge. B1 ‘Corner Of My Mind’ combines synth stabs and soaring string chords, with a hint of bassline funk creeping in alongside shimmering shakers. Further on the trippy, cosmic tip, the stripped down grooves of ‘Raw Nerve (Dub)’ are immersed in warm, spacey FX and quirky pitch bending synths.
The Rhythm Odyssey feat Main Stem – Devil’s Tease [LPS014]
Dean Meredith’s The Rhythm Odyssey returns for his next single for Lip Service. This time he gets together with label mates Ben and vocalist James from The Main Stem to produce a tasty slice of classic, haunting house music with “Devils Tease. You can hear all those early influences in their dirty drum machines, deep bass, piano and strings like in all those early DJ international releases, then James’s vocal performance draws you further, deeper into the twilight hour.
The Rhythm Odyssey & Dr Dunks – Zoo-Ma-City [EF037]
