Girl, do you want to dance with me? Who would have believed a Sasquatch, humanoid primate from Native American legends dances with passion on our sound waves ? With an artwork being always witty Unplëased Records delivers its third release ‘DANCE IS NOT ENOUGH’ by YAMEN available on 18th November 2011 in dance music online stores.
Emergent artist, young protected from Brian Sanhaji and remixed by SIS under his techno minimal period, he decided in 2010 to swap his old moniker for Yamen, a transition which marks a major stylistic evolution. Gentleman, a little eccentric in his music productions but pre-eminently creative, he distils a refined Deep House music filled of singular energy.
YAMEN reveals with ‘Dance is not enough’ a modern and fancy musical project, composed by eclectic sound elements, and one creativity is in keeping with cosmopolitan mood of freedom.
This EP is composed by four resonant shuttles containing in one of them a sight of Deep House. ‘Dance is not enough’ is marked by a state of mind away from the splitting tags of one music style, for taking everybody in a real journey of feeling and exploration.
The first track ‘Don’t you know’ is hoisted by a bass line with a groovy Funk and carries in it all the dimension of the piece. This flow with the different patterns din in our spine a sweet electricity which orders at our body to move. There are too warm, fickle, organic vocal snippets giving a deep beating, then they beach themselves as liquefied.
‘Jazzino’ includes exotic beats with a jazzy bass line and interrupted with vocal line like a small curt sneeze. ‘Jazzino’ is deep and stunning. ‘Sex Loop’ is as for it a piece of music indued with bluffing humor and imagination.
The EP closes on ‘Venice Beach’ , globetrotter music which opens a window on the Pacific, on a high rooftop perched overlooking the ocean when the sun is beginning its decline. ‘Venice Beach’ is a spatiotemporal wind-up whose the flow and the rhythm texture fill us with particular shape of positive energy.
‘Dance is not enough’ is the rightful successor of one mini EPs line which blasted the sphere of emergent artists in the world of digital music, a third release which proves just as exciting.
