Vince Watson - hybrid reaction ep - ingoma
I picked up this one up after hearing Vince Watson's name a few times but
never checking him out.One side feels too much swedish wall of compressed
bass for my tastes, but the other side with the conga samples, flittering
hihats and surging chords does the signature detroit techno funk thing well
for me.
Post Office EP - telegraph
Akufen, Villalobos, luciano, and dan bell? woot woot. Solid deep and quirky
grooves. Dan Bell is feeling kinda herbertish with what I assume are rhodes
piano samples given the track titleĀRhodes 2. Akufen's got his trademark
skippy grind on with a track that sounds like its based on the sound of a
record slowing down. Villalobos is meaty with deep bass but a little
boring. Overall the record sounds like the funkiest bits of Cologne.
black by birth feat ronyx - get it right - mainsqueeze
wow, this is what those people call real music, you know, with voices that
sing more than three words and instruments and stuff. But the IG Culture
Candela Allstars mix is truly touching. It's salsa broken beat, but it's
good. It starts out with dark sparse beats to a bluesy song of hope. The
hand percussion gradually makes it way in there until 2/3 of the record in
it's full on buena vista session. It's like house but less shiny so the
hiphop kids won't feel embarassed.
