Title: Tremors/Pregunta
Artist: Evelyn
Label: ESP Institute
Cat Number: ESP116
Genre: House
1: Tremors
2: Pregunta
I’m trying to put my finger on the origin of Evelyn’s rhythmic approach, but so far all I’m getting is a vague sense of dissonance that could have been spawned in any one of many different African locations, before having migrated to the new world. Because these two tracks, or “peak time tools” if you will, are begging to be the icing on the cake of any DJ discerning enough to take their crowd out on a limb for a few minutes. The approach isn’t particularly sophisticated, nor does it have to be. Loops and breaks combine in an entente cordial of organized chaos, the masked vocal approach of ‘Tremors’ contrasting nicely with the more minimal, but nevertheless dense, sound of ‘Pregunta’. A little bit like King Sunny Ade releasing on Relief, or something.
