Two superbly talented producers whose releases are few and far between. But as ever, Solead knock our socks off with this EP.
It might be best served cold, but the synths in Ice Cream are as warm as they get - saurated with sweetness. Throw in perfectly pitched kicks, energetic percussion and a P-Funk bassline in there and it's time for whiskey and cigars on the dancefloor.
Les Capitales brings freeform jazz to carnival funk. Razor sharp claps and a street party bassline give the tune a rolling groove around which perfectly orchestrated noise glides likes a dangerous snake.
The street party continues with Mola Mola. Timbales roll, claps snap and kick drums pound. Trumpets punch the air and, occasionally, the sound of the jungle around you cuts through the mix. A tune for a hot summer night.
Moonlight is just as you'd expect it to be - ethereal and moody. Percussion elements combine to build a surging rhythm for acid-sharp synths and creepy vocals to hang on to.
Oasis treads a more minimalist path until water is found and the celebrations start. Jubilant chanting flows over the rock-solid groove that just grows and grows.
Every track here is a masterclass in engineering. Solead pull some percussion tricks that many more prolific producers would sell their grandmothers for. Turn it up and enjoy!
