Whispers EP - Continental (Recit De Voyage)

 


Title: Whispers EP

Artist: Continental

Label: RDV (Recit De Voyage)

Cat Number: RDV07

Genre: Deep House

 

1: Flying Dub

2: Way U Jack

3: Whispers

4: Whispers (Cosmin TRG Remix)

 

For the latest release on Molly’s Recit De Voyage, we have a reissue from 1994 which doesn’t betray its age one bit. The three original tracks are deep house straight out of the Prescription Underground colouring book, with the effervescent analogue warmth of the title track having Ron Trent’s paws all over it. Cosmin TRG remixes it to interesting effect, stripping it down and amplifying the synth swirls. This allows more space between the beats into which is poured occasional sonic dissonance. Both the driving ‘Flying Dub’ and ‘Way U Jack’ sound very similar, with both having Murk - like flourishes to underpin their general trajectory. The former being more fluid than the latter, which occasionally pauses for thought amongst the disembodied voice and handclaps.
