more cloak and dagger cuts from the new school s favorite mystery label. all four cuts on this winter sampler freak and funk their way through firmly body-jacking beats, jazzy samples and stabs to get the heads noddin and booties shakin and of course that signature guess who? sound of instantly recognizable funkiness
the release opens with quite baked, a stripped, low-slung cut that embraces loose, swung drums and rolling low-end rumbles. the record adapts to a simplistic hooky structure that allows subtle transitional periods to keep things captivating, infusing a blend of gritty elements that gleam with analogue sparkles and warmth, resulting in a tasteful slice of rough and ready house music. next up is as olways, taking things in a deeper direction with smooth rhodes chords driving the melodic movement.
