Maxmillion Dunbar - one half of DC dance captains Beautiful Swimmers - returns with Woo, the first single from his forthcoming album House of Woo. Following a sturdy string of singles between 2011 and 2012 for L.I.E.S., Live at Robert Johnson, and Future Times (where Dunbar plays label don), Woo marks Max Ds first release for RVNG Intl. and new dimensions to his production game.
The A-side, 'Woo', shimmers on its shell while whumping straight up the center on behind-the-beat bass blasts. 'Woo' works on a Function One just as well as it does a blown set of speakers at a house party gone woozy with punch drunk love.
'The Drift' writhes in the dance floor dust at the hand of a slap-happy snare charmer, bouncing along on an robotic bass line.
'Shampoo' is an analog bubble bath upon which a fragmented guitar Fripps and a Zummo-esque trumpet line floats.[info from gg]
