PODCAST MIX:
Resident DJ - Grant Paterson - Floorfillaz - Nov 5th 2010 by The Guide Clubland
Catch these two atmospheric tech house imprints from the formidable Crosstown Rebels label. Deep bass grooves fill the soundfield as spooky synths climb as hi-fi-crashing shtooms work it with warm percussion that blends beautifully with a seductive vocal.
This four pack of funky house will add some spiciness to any eclectic house collection. McLovin’ You is a trippy bass heavy funker. The track Sex Panther, on the other hand, adds quirky synth loops to a buoyant house groove. Of the other two dishes on offer, Crooklyn is... well, imagine a spacewalk with laughing gas instead of oxygen, while Jazzabella is a masterful cooking cut.
All these three developed mixes are very cool. Crazy P offers up a slice of cosmic disco with a nod to the 80s (Paul Hardcastle-style drum rolls). That said it’s Robin Porter & Subb-an’s remix for me. A quality bass buster with techie loops, African rhythms and echoed vocals.
This fantastic EP features Get A Bet On, which fires old skool tech stabs over a funky groove that’s sure to have everyone moving. The other two trax are not to be missed either, deep trip Rushin Roulette is exemplary and Um Bongo, complete with head slicing chords and wonky melodies, is choice.
The title track steals the show for me on this release. Spacey noises give way to a ghostly piano. It builds and builds as the bass groove intensifies and the beats tighten. It soars higher and higher, climbing and climbing... absolutely guaranteed to bring you UP
