deep, raw house tracks

the west loop chicago collective reportedly span continents, pooling soul-soaked talents into some truly powerful dance music. -knocking on the door of the cosmos- doffs its cap to sun ra with some crafty samples, but the musical vibe is more in line with the likes of andres, dego or other such masters of irrepressibly funky house music. -theme for chicago- takes an iconic roy ayers jam and gets wild with the filter, -son of equinox- trips down a loose and limber jazz funk pathway and -payback- whips up some tightly clipped samples into a pumped up peak time belter. from start to finish this ep oozes class and authenticity - a serious grip for any self-respecting midwest heads.

relentless as any artist peven everett has the knack of putting out lots of beautiful unique songs. voted number one rnb artist in chicago, peven has a massive following of soul heads around the world. we at bombay have big fans from day one with his early work with roy davis jr. and the classic bombay release men from the nile “watch them come”. his career has seen him drop some classic records including the “studio confessions” project. his bombay releases are 2 dance floor cuts from his deep collection. “heat up”, a catchy vocal cut on a super funky groove with warm keys and a bumping bassline. along with “when we’re together”, a chicago style dance floor loop with layered with peven’s infectious harmonies. the additional heat up club edit courtesy of the awaaz kids adds a thump and snap to the song for people who like that.

this album is a collaboration between labels kontra-musik and kess kill. what would have become of d.a.f. if they had been signed to trojan instead of mute back in the day add a good pinch of absurdism and social realism in the vein of prized film director roy andersson and vanligt folk might just be the answer. the gothenburg groups name can be translated to common people and they make use of primitive electronics, drums and skewed vocals - ranging from harsh social commentary to the purely nonsensical - to create their own take on body music. hambo is the name of a traditional swedish folk dance that was highly popular among the common people at the turn of the last century. with this album, vanligt folk juxtaposes the working class dance phenomena of hambo with modern day rave culture. this is done in the most blasphemous manner thinkable, as is the way of vanligt folk. concepts like nationalism, race and tradition are all treated with the same merry lack of reverence. the only thing that needs to be respected is the dance and those who take part in it, whether accompanied by accordions or drum machines. or both.

its been a hot minute since timothy j. fairplay slipped on his junior fairplay guise, but hes done just that for this bleep-tastic new 12inch on (emotional) especial. end of love is unabashed in its embrace of early yorkshire techno tones, making a fine job of resurrecting the bleep spectre and letting it shake up the dance once more. roy of the ravers is a smart choice of remixer, and he brings an off-kilter acid rub to the table in his idiosyncratic, braindance-inflected style. the b-side is equal laden with purposefully dusty dance grooves transplanted from the late 80s / early 90s, with faxes from the future hitting a particularly sharp point in its lazy breakbeat roll and the clanging harmonies of the stabs
