Yore returns with yet another Deep Master Piece. Javier Alvarez, a Madrid based producer and proprietor (along with his younger brother Dubbyman) of the underground label Deep Explorer Music, brings his relaxed Above Smoke sound to the Yore imprint. In the first of four warm and atmospheric mood pieces, Awfully drapes dense synthetic winds over a deliciously grooving, bass prodded deep house pulse. Get Down does exactly that with five funky minutes of Rhodes chords, disco hi hats, and synth swirls, a percolating bass line lends the track a propulsive charge, while crowd voices give the cut a party vibe. On the B sideÆs ôThe Fixö Javier scatters chopped fragments of the spoken line, I ve got a lot of shit to say and I cant say it all in one day, I cant say it all on one piece of tape, over a funk house groove, after which Dubbyman offers variations on the theme in his remix of the track, Dubbymans version digs deeper into the cuts bass science and warms the tunes slinky pulse with hand percussion and claps. Old school in its embrace of classic house sounds, Above Smokes EP is tailor made for those who like their material laid back, groove centered, and funky.
