Don’t know a huge amount about this one - for one thing, I can’t remember who sent it – but for what it’s worth, Sunshade is a pretty decent slab of deep house in that post-minimal kinda stylee.
There’s four mixes on offer: the Original (which I’ve just said about as much about I as I can, really), plus one from Echofusions and two from Ryan Luciano. The latter’s Deeper Mix is described by the hype sheet as “a deep house marathon”… but it’s more like a prog epic, if you ask me, so I’d stick to his Remix instead, which is also quite proggy but brings in some nice wikky-wakky guitar licks. And doesn’t go on quite so long. Finally, Echofusion’s Deep Cut Remix, and here it’s back to the post-minimal feel, only this time out the b-line’s brought forward a notch and the breakdowns are drawn out, for a slightly more textured kinda ride.
About: This is on Unrivaled Music, they're a new London-based label and it’s their second release. That’s about all I know right now… have a look at their MySpace and you'll get the idea they're really very new cos they've still got 'Tom' as a top friend!
Hey, it would be awesome if you could add at least a 1 minute low quality sample to the reviews.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, great site. Thanks!
Thanks Juan! Unfortunately Blogspot doesn't seem to offer that facility… I do bear in mind though that often the tracks mentioned will be on the relevant artist's/label's MySpace or website, which is the main reason I always put a link on if poss.
ReplyDeleteIf/when Blogspot ever lets me put up samples I will, but it will only ever be lo-res samples as you say… I don't understand the whole 'free music' blog thing, if you love the music so much (not you I mean, the ppl who run such blogs) why are you giving it away and making it harder for the artists involved to make a living and hence carry on making it?!
Anyway rant over, thanks again for the kind comments, cheered me up after a shitty day!
