Instrumental tracks from Detroit house scene breakout Jay Daniel. Mostly uptempo, but not overly energetic, the songs take us on a synthy, bassy, drummy journey into the sounds of the studio - but the tracks are clear and not overproduced. A crisp house sound to jam out and night ride to. RIYL Kyle Hall, Carl Craig, Omar-S FCC clean Recommended tracks: 2, 4, 5, 7 1. (2:39) Clapping beat with bells jingling over an off-kilter synth line. 2. (4:42) Gentle swirling over a smooth keyboard line and an uptempo cowbell. 3. (3:03) Muddy siren grinding with distorted vocals, breaking into laughter and fast-moving industrial chiming. 4. (6:13) Drum-heavy, base-heavy minimalist journey that gets synthy about midway through. Creative arrangements. 5. (6:01) Stuttering base with a synth melody played over that juts in and out. Quieter synth swells follow. 6. (5:50) Rattling your brain with lots of tinny treble, and then an '80s synth line comes in to make it a wonderful melodic surprise. 7. (8:27) Smooth chirping with a continual bass breakdown into a multilayered groove of jingling drums and clear-toned synth. 8. (1:27) A super-smooth short interlude. Driving with the windows down groove with drum and very cool synth. 9. (6:47) Purely drumming and base making me want to move. Uptempo swirling with a familiar synth line reprisal from track 7. | ||
