Various Artists - Voice Notes 002 (Voice Notes)

 


Title: Voice Notes 002

Artist: Various

Label: Voice Notes

Cat Number: VN002

Genre: House


1: Alphonse – Rujac

2: Rodney Bennett – Palm Sunday

3: Toby Tobias – Streets Of Gold (Alphonse Remix)

4: Pyramids Of Space – Quantis

5: Dance – Amber


This release spans an evolution of beats in no particular order. The final couple of tracks, ‘Quantis’ and ‘Amber’, are both downtempo shading into ambient, in that order of deterioration. Very good and deserved of your patience. Whereas the first three have already picked up the pace somewhat. Alphonse, who I am aware as having seen some action on the peerless Tone Dropout, lays down the heaviest beats here, with ‘Rujac’ being a breaks-driven sunlit uplands of a track, and his remix of ‘Streets Of Gold’ a more fidgety, glistening, clean tune infused with a similar optimism. ‘Palm Sunday’, with its vibes-driven bass is the most individual piece here, and is prime deep house with a stellar edge. All good and worth your time.
