After the late nite, neon-red funk of his last release The Digital Fantasy (which picked up support from the likes of Benji B, Alexander Nut & Ross Allen), Quaid returns with a new ep: CFE. AIn contrast to the strung out, hazy eroticism of The Digital Fantasy, here the heart rate has elevated and the signals pushed further into the red Nightlyfe best illustrates this with its rough hats, minor chords and irrepressible rhythm. Body Forms is a nod back to the hydraulic, locked funk of Quaid s previous releases, whilst Tango offers Huerco S style synths under subverted Prince Housequake-era drums.A 99Percent weaves around a driving bass algorithm and the insistent vocal refrain supplied by longtime collaborator Dziko.ATheres a change in mood here, the night has passed and sunrise is moments away. Lights on tomorrows horizon glint endless glass, dust and chrome.
