It’s hard to
believe that it’s six years since ‘Cottam 4’ was released, but here we are niw
with ‘Cottam 5’ and the re-edits have titles! There’s not much left to be said
about Paul Cottam except to say that he sprang from obscurity seven or so years
ago and made an indelible sonic mark by cloaking his work in a variety of
guises, realised that Afrobeat was one of the grooviest sounds on the planet
and, in the process, became one of house music’s most singular voices. ‘Mixing
Tool’ continues the obsession with shuffling grooves from the heart of
darkness, while ‘Escape From NY . . .’
does what it says on the tin. Mr Cottam has a magic formula all his own
which crosses genres in the name of funk with ease.
