Described as “dreamy rave escapades” in the press release, this five tracker from Later Version, on the always reliable Tartelet deftly surveys a lot of the cross-pollinated machine funk hinterland, where deep house, in the case of ‘Active Refill’ blends seamlessly into the soaring breaks of ‘Bushy Stunt’, which comes to a grinding halt as it is absorbed by the meticulous beat abstraction of ‘Wall Push’, which acts as the EP’s fulcrum, inasmuch as ‘Drifiting Pottery’ dabbles once more with breaks and ‘College Identity’ stretches the percussion out into a more linear form. It’s quite a skill to pack so much into one release and make it work on so many levels, but Jerod S. Rivera and Daniel Letson manage it with plenty of room to manoeuvre.
