No Matter What

NMW003

Info:

Following A Pair Of Fine Releases On Fine Art And Under The Shade, James Johnston Delivers Another Superb Ep For No Matter What. >after Everything< Is A Masterfully Created Slice Of Rolling Deep House Flirting With Disco Styles, Punctuated With Snippets Of Disco Guitar Licks And Dubbed Out Vocal Samples, All Held Together With A Sumptuous Chord Sequence. The Comparatively Upbeat Tempo Rhythm And Deep Subs Of >lost The House Keys< Which Follows Comes As Something Of A Surprise, And The Chopped Up Piano Which Causes The Track To Erupt Into A Flurry Of Jacking Rhythms Only Add To The Proto-chi House Mood. The Rest Of The Tracks Continue With The Same Kind Of Upbeat Pace, With >get Back To The Feeling< Interlacing A Variety Of Female Vocal Samples Within Its 909 Rhythms, And >xtc< Injecting Some Serotonin Into The Ep With Its Razor Sharp Synth Stabs And Snares, Whose Rhythms Recall The Deadly Precision Of Marc Kinchens Early Productions...
