Three tracks in a total of six mixes
here, on William Welt's first solo release for his own
well-established 22 Digit Records.
Vibe & Soal [sic] is a lush,
laidback deep house groove with a spoken male vocal. It's good, but
for me it comes into its own more on the Ekkohaus Remix, a beefed-up
dubby pass aimed fair and square at the more discerning dancefloors. Nightingale is next: in its original form, this is an esoteric,
bass-heavy groove sitting on the house/techno borders, with
rainforest sounds that make you think of E2/E4 or some other
long-lost Loft classic. Ricardo Jefferson's remix takes it into
proggier territory but for me it's the original that wins out this
time. And then finally there's Seaside Samba, an unsurprisingly
Latin-tinged percussive techno workout in its original form before
Heisenburg turns the dark up on his big, brooding refix.
The latter cut's a bit too techno for
me, so personally I'll be sticking to the first two… but the EP as
a whole does demonstrate perfectly that there is, indeed, more to
Welt than just the minimal techno for which he first became known.
