Cat Number: STE 00005
Genre: Deep House
1: The Voices Of Spring
2: Mangrove 9
3: Mangrove 9 (London Modular Alliance Mix)
4: Tribe Records
Wonderfully funky fare this: ‘Mangrove 9’ bounces along in a throbbing, bass-heavy minimal style and has body; an essential quality when deploying a groove. London Modular Alliance’s take on it drops the arse out and fills it with foreboding and room to maneuver. It’s more atmospheric but sacrifices some of the original’s dynamic. ‘The Voices of Spring’ is cuckoo by comparison (see what I did there?). A loping percussive groove is overlaid with an acidic squelch and a shout, while ‘Tribe Records’ is a syncopated dubbed out linear groove that fades and comes back into focus with tiny tweaks adding subtle increments to its intensity. Lovely stuff.
