DES 139EP
|
Chocky returns to Dessous with Playtime EP. "Double Dip" is a chunky, stripped-down vibe, reduced vitals that will slay dancefloors -- a shuffling groove and a cut-up vocal reminiscent of Pepe Bradock. "Organism" is a deep affair -- spacy pads provide the counterbalance to the tough drum track. "Soul Alive" taps into Chocky's clear appreciation for the '90s, with a strong vocal, atmospheric strings, and a loose yet crispy beat. "Playtime (Dub)" is another stormer -- beginning as a driving basement jam but then an unexpected piano riff flips the script and takes things in a welcome jazzy direction.

DES 138EP
|
London's Chocky joins the Dessous label and shares three tracks of sublime house music on Steve Bug's imprint. "Self Knowledge" is a deep, tech-y roller clocking it at nearly ten minutes -- plenty of space to expand into its full potential -- the groove grows ever more hypnotic and engaging as the track unfolds. Next up is "A Reefa", a not too subtle reference to a certain herb that might have inspired this loose, yet highly funky deep house jam. "Casa De Estrela" changes the vibe up with a more direct and jacking track.
