Review: Four quality house cuts here from Joint4Nine, AKA Bogota, Columbia native Ivan Lozano. Opener 'Be Alright' has echoes of a certain Urban Soul classic in the vocal department (though it's not actually a sample - it's more of a 'feel' thing), a cool synth bassline and some classy sax work, 'Have A Dream' is pure late 80s Chi-town nostalgia and 'Slappin' Basslines' is a nicely wonked-out affair with lots of lovely squelchy 303 bass. The standout to these ears, though, is 'Where Were You When You Heard Acid?', which chugs, squelches, bleeps, whispers and just doesn't stop for (nearly) seven glorious minutes.
Broken Cigarretes & Rum (original mix) - (6:53) 124 BPM
Old Skull (SofaTalk remix) - (6:45) 115 BPM
Echo Pads (original mix) - (6:46) 122 BPM
Review: The wild-eyed Discoholycs are back on Nomada with another fine selection of hybrid boogie sketches, and all things FUNKED-OUT! This time, the disco freaks are joined by Joint4Nine, and they deliver five outrageously freaky cuts, starting with the spoken words of "Roberts Jamintro" - a tune that the likes of Dilla would be proud of. "Old Skull" and "Broken Cigarettes & Rum" are equally funky, yet the pace verges towards the broken beat end of the scale, entering the dance floor domain. All spacey and utterly wavy. Check the Sofa Talk remix of "Old Skull", too, you'll be thanking us for having given you an EP you can play from start to finish.
