DIRT 142EP
|
Dirt Crew present a new artist from Berlin. Dutch native Pete Bandit relocated to Berlin some years ago where we first met in 2018 when he was part of the Times Are Ruff collective. They contributed a track on Dirt Crew for their Deep Love 2018 compilation (DIRT 113LP). Now, recently going solo, he developed his sound even more towards Detroit-ish house with dabs of techno and a bit of high tech jazz in there as well. This debut EP offers Loads of deep soulful grooves, spiritual "computer" music at it's best! The A-side "Wild Feelings" is such a beautiful opener to this record, with its lush spread out intro it paves the way with that perfect mood for what is to come, a mix of soul, funk, and electronics and overall well-crafted deepness. The keys on this one were contributed by the mysterious Nelson of the East topped with vocals by Pete himself. "It's Happening Again" continues the story with soulful deep house textures and this one especially reminds us a lot of those early '90s Chicago/ New York House gems, the track is building towards a great breakdown key change and with its atmospheric strings and pads it's a truly uplifting "Good Times" tune. On the flip you have "Computer's Creativity". This track picks up the pace and is centered around a funky, almost slap like, bass line. Here again topped by a vocal add of Pete about "Computer's Creativity" and with it's cool break this one will also be a sure floor-filler, guaranteed! The closing track on this record is the driving "Luv Your Body", great percussion guides us through a loose set arrangement and make this one a perfect late hours or early mornings tune in any mix, it could go on forever! All tracks have been mixed by Ariel Schlichter in Berlin and mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne. Photography and art by Break 3000.
