very sensual house music

slammin house music on tha breakbeat way

los angeles-based producer and dj cromie stays close to home with his debut on the los angeles via chicago label these things take time. after an exquisite release on amadeus and recent appearances on 100% silk and 00:am, cromie graces the label with his rare yet striking sounds for its fourth release.

cromies quietly become one of las most vital house producers. following a killer debut for nyc-based label peach alongside fellow eastsider sage caswell (with a remix by none other than kyle mf hall), hes been patiently honing his craft. his unique, amped-up vision of house music comes into full view with his amadeus debut, at interfaces.

cromie s bubbling, spacious house sound first drew critical acclaim last year on the sold out 12- vines / pyrex (peach001), a collaboration with fellow la producer sage caswell. now, peach is thrilled to present cromies solo debut ep inner knows, a revved up set of idiosyncratic dancefloor weapons. how to stop a bulldozer, a rotating helix of synth stabs, warped vocals and low-end torque warrants it s epic title. elsewhere, flan functions like a potent concentrate of 22nd century funk. inner knows kicks off side b with a swirling late night house jam that flirts with the deeper corners of the genre. another fixture in la s electronic scene, suzanne kraft (running back, esp institute, pharoahs) closes out the record with a cubist reading of flan. on his solo debut, cromie s creative depth and attention to detail belies his freshness to the game. regular sets at las club called rhonda and various underground happenings in the sprawling southland have taught him some valuable lessons. if he can deliver this many distinct sounds on a single record, we cant wait to hear what’s next.

hailing out of montreal, 00:am follow up their killer first release with a four track va e.p. setting their stall out as a label to watch in 2018. the hutchin crew open up proceedings with an ethereal and hypnotic cut, coupling sweeping pads with dreamy keys. next up, dj ok takes things darker layering thudding toms and atmospheric strings with a sci-fi sampled spoken word. on the b side, cromie & iron curtis let the pounding bass sit centre stage interspersed with otherwordly synthwork and that high hat fizz. finally, science fiction steers things on a new wave tip offering up a down-tempo french vocal tinged closer to round off this stellar e.p.

la/detroit two-steppers newbody (aka roberto ramone and jonathan roshad) keep the faith on their latest single. *emotional* and the flip *wut u do* share the duos brisk vocal house signature: cooled garage energy, uptown piano, bass calisthenics, satin shirt soul. the remixes flex different tendons of the tracks: emotion ii emotion pumps it to jack city, piano stabs and discotheque horns over a lush, lewd bounce, while cromie & sage caswell go more stereoscopic, dizzying the song into an abstract sunrise awakening. also includes a radio edit of “emotional,” to bait the top 40 djs on the fence. mastered by mark pistel. center label design by trevor tarczynski.
