Nestling in the grey, but also very colourful area of techno, disco, jack and trancer, this release by Reda Saiarh offers, according to its press release, “his fresh, forward thinking take on Belgian New Beat.” Apparently influenced by said genre’s presence in his father’s record collection, ‘Comfort Zone’ comes correct with handclaps a plenty, twanging bass, swirling synths and rave samples before they were such, embedded in the mix. It’s nicely mid-paced for the most part, so the middle-aged disco dancing massive shouldn’t pull too many muscles while shape-throwing and, simultaneously having back in the day flashbacks. It’s nice and druggy too, which is important as its nice to be transported to messiness and delinquency in the comfort of your own home. Everything throbs appealingly, reaching a peak of sorts in the trance-inducing ‘Hunters’, but that’s only because I’m dancing around my back room with my dog while its on. This is a quality release from start to finish which could only be improved on if it came with a free pack of beans.
