wolverhampton based duo letherette return for their second release on ho_tep records, once again delivering a dusty and soul filled package spanning hip hop to boogie - house to rnb. their first ep built a strong buzz, with comparisons and influences being draw upon, ranging from pete rock and madlib through to thomas bangalter. recent remixes and features with bibio, solar bears, brownswood bubblers, dazed and confuzed magazine and bts radio have further cemented their space in the current musical climate, working almost as a beat tape this new ep once again showcases the impressive funk, swing and overall style that the guys have to offer, as ever they are keeping their fingers dirty, digging deep into crates, pulling up nothing but the finest samples.

the one-two kick drum beat that starts “in the dark of the night” functions as a bit of a tease. instead of merely establishing the languid pace of the track, it has the power of suggestion, and its stark nakedness raises the question of what will happen after the music fully launches. a few seconds later, a punch-drunk, flanging keyboard is the first clue that the listener is in for an off-kilter ride, the sauntering bassline that next appears adds a springy, funk bounce. but it’s the tripped-out, multi-tracked vocals of fernando miranda rios, aka michoacan, the producer behind this slow reveal, that give the song its peculiar, space-yvibe. it’s like david byrne with funk aspirations and a vaguely cosmic feel. the b-side remix, courtesy of italy’s clap rules, feels like more of a re-build. the song has been taken apart and put back together with brand new parts. instead of more relaxed, dazed funk at the core, it’s a glittery, disco-ball splattered track with glossy keys all around.
