Review:
Having already contributed to two Sepalcure releases for Hotflush, Praveen Sharma adopts his Braille guise for a debut solo outing on Paul Rose's increasingly multi faceted label. Fans of Sharma's unveiling of the Braille sound via that illuminating release for Rush Hour's Direct Current release will be rightfully excited by the four tracks here. Continuing to explore Sharma's love for the house sound, there's a vintage soulful element inherent throughout though it's flushed with the kind of frosted futurist slant that makes the Braille sound so appealing. The undulating rhythmic swerves of "Riverbed" in particular stand out, not least for little satisfying production nuances such as the intermittent cracks of a kick drum. Elsewhere delicate samples mangle with brilliantly loose drums on the cavorting "Breakup" whilst "Chain Gang" mutates brilliantly from the early expert sample manipulations into an explosion of soaring textures filled with glorious colour.
