Artist Rick Wade
Title Night Tactics
Format: 12" / Digital
Cat no: YRE-005
RELEASE DATE: 01/OCT/2007
Rick Wade’s second Yore 12-inch, Night Tactics, offers four more polished samplings of classic funk-soul by the Michigan-born, Detroit House legend. The slamming disco groove in the opener “Lostarts” provides a rock-solid base for a pumping bass line and Rhodes chords, while congas add Latin swing to the surging, string-laden techno of “Theory of a Varice.” Ululating voices bring appropriately exotic flavour to “World Voice” but it’s the grooving pulse that stomps throughout that is its most beautiful detail. “Vanguard Cinema” is the wild card here, a skanky shuffler chased by a reggae guitar riff that still manages to squeeze in hints of Wade’s trademark warmth and soul. While clearly smooth and sleek, Wade’s Night Tactics material is, above all else, masterful.
YORE-005 FEEDBACK:
Giles Smith:: “FORTHCOMING REVIEW FROM DJ MAG RICK WADE - Night Tactics (Yore) Detroit House legend Rick Wade has been fine form of late and this his second release on his own imprint sees him continue. "Lostrts" has a lazy summer groove with great live wacking drums, warm rhodes and sweet keys. "Theory of Valice" has a more abstract techno feel but still keeping the warmth. "World voice" has a killer groove with deeper than deep bassline, more live percussion and some ethnic vocals. Last up "Vanguard Cinema" is a shuffly track with a reggae influnce. Excellent.”
Laurent Garnier:: “More stunning music on this great label...will play the hell out of these! ”
Sebo k (mobilee) :: “superb release
