One of the best things Copenhagen has to offer – Martinez, has really spiced Lomidhigh
Organic up with his Organic Theme EP. This year he's gone back to his deep house days as the ones we remember him from on Chicago record label Guidance Recordings. Though, he has further added this technoish touch and come up with the perfect balance of techno and house music! After hitting the market with stoning 12 inch on 3rd Floor earlier this year, and with his Moon Habour ep just around the corner, Martinez delivers yet another winner with his new 2x12" for Lomidhigh Organic.
The record kicks off in fine fashion with the title track, "Organic theme", and as the title suggests this is the theme song for what the Organic label sound is all about and was specially costume made for the label. Over 14 minutes of play time, this tune unveils itself slowly from a deep rhodes driven house groove with jazzy snare drums and a strong steady kick drum into a lovely liberating deep house anthem. More and more percussion enters over the flowting deepness and after 6 minutes a hypnotic vocal starts rising from like out of nowhere and bring the track to its peak. A perfect tune to start off an EP like this! On the B-side we find a more minimal and stripped down house groover, called: "Chi-Town 60661". The titel is tracing back to the zip code of the area for one of Chicago's finest and most inspiring record labels, so you can surly imagine were the inspiration for this track comes from. The whole track is build over a deep and dark sub bass driven groove, with high pitched congas and a deep male vocal humming in the background. It keeps on going for over 10 minutes with sizzling hi-hats and cymbals enter in and out over the hypnotic bass and rhythm. The second 12" starts off with a more up tempo track, which has a nice feeling of more classic Chicago techno, reminding me of labels like Relief and Cajual. The track is called "The Alley Cat", and the whole track is build up by a pretty simple straight up beat, but with the live recording from Martinez's own kitchen running free below the groove, it makes the perfect contrast to the simpleness of the track. The EP is rounded up nicely by the song, "Rattlesnake" on the D side. A very toolish track with a dark deep voice and scattered-space-noise fading in and out under the deep surly percussion filled rhythm, making these perfect breaks in the track – it works, we love it !
