The hardest working man in showbiz (Cal Gibson) is back with four wonky Balearic-not-Balearic wobblers, cementing his reputation as one of the UK’s best producers of downtempo, leftfield grooves.
Love Tracks loads a sample into the funk machine and presses the big red button. What comes out the other end has Dub EFX, vocal samples, and delays aplenty for a trip into 70s disco space.
Next up, Is It Daylight? takes the groove deep with shimmering synths and tripped out arpeggiated samples. Late night, hypnotic and mesmerising.
Female Planet takes Compass Point as the starting line and does a hard left. 80s bass, dub, broken beats, disco and female empowerment blend into underground party music wearing a smile.
Finally, Scared of Dub is a murky motorik beat, busted synths and congas come off as organic, soulful kosmische, laying the bed for the heartfelt, plaintive vocals.
40 Thieves – trippy! great basslines, interesting vocals. solid all the way through.
Pete Herbert – Excellent! Solid grooves all the way
Marco Gallerani (Hell Yeah Recordings) – Keep em coming!!!!!!
