retrofit reaches release no. 4 with a solo endeavour from boss jay shepheard that truly encapsulates the labels mantra of referencing vintage house, disco and techno but laying it in a sheen of contemporary sonic dynamism. this is more than evident on the expertly paced >all over my nord< which is driven by a richly elastic analogue bassline riding the slick syncopation. a surfeit of melodic stabs imbues the track with real energy whilst the gradual rise to dominance of a pad wash drenched in detroit atmospherics adds the requisite emotion! this is complemented by the much more immediate >string theory< which opens the b side with a master class in future retro jacking house business whilst >kuderskis groove< bridges the gap between filtered disco aesthetics and deep house bpms with nonchalant ease. prime dj business once again from the retrofit camp.
from deep in the heart of moulton studios comes this new offering from san frans main man jay-j and kevin k. using a martin luther king like speech, this bumps along with cali conga hits and deep techy stabs, a really cool uplifting miguel migs synth comes in after the break, for pure party hands in the air. on the back a more acidic affair, with a tweaky 303 and dubby mazi delays. you all know whats up with jay- js sh**t, dis is kicking!
played by the revenge !!! after just 2 stellar releases retrofit is rapidly becoming one of the hottest new labels on the scene - releases one and two already charted and hammered by the cream of the crop inc sammy dee, cottam, mark henning, catz & dogz, seth troxler and a ton of others. now label head jay shepheard teams up with his pal tad wily (fresh from his debut alongside greg wilson and tensnake on smash hit music) for the 3rd installment. on this hotly tipped ep, already charted by the revenge on ra, the pair deliver four retrofit quality future disco tracks destined to be rocking the clubs in the coming months and beyond.
bop doo is a hot tempo dance slammer that scorches across cut up vocals and sensual synth treatments. intense and relentless, its definitely a tune for those with serious energy to burn. do not cross brings deep, warm edged stabs to big room beats to create a melody marathon for those who like to get funked up
