1997 opens with an atmospheric dark & mysterious groove we fell in love with as if the track was completly suspended in the air. Followed by the monstruous BLACK SHADES that will bring your feets down to earth to start dancing to the sound of these incredible heavy melodies. On the flipside we have 2 other crazy tracks. It starts first with NUT which means night in the ancient egyptian religion, Nut was the goddess of the sky and indeed we feel completely immersed into the night all along the track. To end Maat, a deep house track in the pure moodymann tradition to close the circle. To add maat is again in old egyptian the story of how the world began. To be true we really think that if cosmic music has a sense today, it should be done like this. Joe drives sound is firmly rootes in proto-house and acid. However,he does not just do a copy & paste of the past,hes bringing something really fresh & new to those old sound. This 12 inch is wonderfull & already timeless for us. On this evidence, Joe Drive is clearly one to watch.[info from cy]
