Track Of The Day: Maurizio - M7 (B) (Maurizio)


If it’s Monday, it must be Maurizio. I lost count a long time ago as to which of his releases I’ve already posted in this ongoing for all eternity series, and I may have posted this one already. However, it doesn’t matter. No one listens to the same track in the same way twice, a feat made even more difficult by any of the M Series. And while I’d like to say that ‘M7 (B)’ stands out from the others in a rare, idiosyncratic way, it doesn’t, which is another reason for liking it in such an indescribable fashion. I’m sure that a lot of listeners will say that it won’t win any prizes for originality when placed alongside the rest of its label mates and the Basic Channel series; but you and me know that they’re all wrong, and that a piece such as this contains multitudes. At almost 12 minutes long not a second is wasted in pursuit of the quintessential, holistic funk experience. The granular overlay, underpinned by a pervasive bass, constantly shifts and changes to ensure that not only is the track never listened to twice in the same way, but the millions of moments across it are each subject to permanent change.
