Warmwoods - EOD (bbbbbb)



Title: Warmwoods
Artist: EOD 
Label: bbbbbb
Cat Number: BBB013
Genre: Electro

A1: Warmwoods Mesh
A2: (Untitled) (w-R6)
B1: dog_bits
B2: The Battery Poles (Are Conic!)
B3: CQC

These tracks are almost fifteen years old, but like much of DJ Guy’s similar output, have aged very well. The tempo is, in the main, mid and melodically engaging with depth, exemplified by the title track and ‘The Battery Poles (Are Conic!)’. Both the intriguingly titled ‘dog bits’ and ‘(Untitled) (w-R6)’
 take things up a notch, combining skittish acid squirtles over an undulating bassline and sweeping strings to great effect, while ‘CQC’ layers similar motifs on top of the other but more deliberately. Uniting the diiferent elements of this release is an omnipresent, uncontrived moodiness which swings across these tracks like a rhythmic searchlight, while simultaneously allowing for an unpredictability to flourish.
