LUKE FAIR - OS_0.3 (BEDROCK MUSIC) |
| |
"Mooguno" is a modern dance track channeling 80s new
wave and Tangerine Dream, and thus we are introduced
to the compelling world of Luke Fair, whose selection
of tracks for this mix of house tunes is completely
compelling and totally able to stand out from the
crowd. There's a subtlety and unassuming quality to
the music, yet it is fully engaging. "Friday Loops"
picks up where "Mooguno" leaves off and presents an
etherea to the proceedings that house often doesn?t
see. ?Synth Song? is laden with catchy hooks and tight
textures and "Ain't No" adds some buzzing melody and
represents a little more traditional house flavor but
one that fits well with what?s gone before. ?Lose
Yourself? recalls the retro with minimalist
mind-grabbing that, like much of the other music
herein, reminds one of understated trance converted to
house purposes. This track segues into obliquely
referencing standard house. ?Bulldog Beats? thrives on
captivating progression. A sort of dubbish techfunk is
the order of the day on ?When In Rome,? and ?La
Serenissima? boasts synths that hint at organic
classical tastes. A totally groovy base melody runs
through the belly of ?Electric.? ?Supernova? explodes
with whispered epic sensibilities. ?Malteser Geezer?
also references the qualities of trance. ?1983? is, as
suggested by the name, a look back at some of the
textures of the 80s and ?Xristophan? moves with dense
but spacious textures and grows into quiet
infectiousness. And ?Waves? ends the session with
expansive house lushness. A solid CD, and one of the
best house mixes to hit the dance floors in quite a
while. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
