Please Play Again - Detroit's Filthiest (Philthtrax)


Title: Please Play Again

Artist: Detroit’s Filthiest

Label: Philthtrax

Cat Number: PHLTRX XL003

Genre: Electro

 

A1: Skippers & Skrimps

A2: Groove Junkie

B1: Most Expensivest

B2: No Mo Talk

 

Occupying the funky entrails, somewhere between Cygnus’ sub-tropical, sweat-drenched urban panoramas and DJ Assault’s no nonsense rawness, this release from Detroit’s Filthiest spans a range of tempos and textures which makes it a versatile sonic morsel. The beats are upfront, as in ‘Groove Junkie’, or in the case of ‘Most Expensivest’ and ‘Skippers And Skrimps’ deliciously understated, but full of squelch and flange. These two tracks are quite similar to each other, with the former sounding like a toned down version of the latter. ‘No Mo Talk’ combines the best aspects of all the previous tracks into a harder-edged funk-fuelled fantasy and is the most accomplished piece on this release.
