Lubelski, Randy Ry - "Feeling A Vibe" - (6:18) 127 BPM
The James Brown Track - (6:33) 127 BPM
Lubelski - "Anxiety" - (6:21) 126 BPM
Review: With sampled, dusty drums and male soul vox, the title track here sounds like something Osunlade or Opolopo might come up with for Classic, while 'Anxiety' adopts an even more wonky, cut-up approach and will appeal to fans of, say, Chicken Lips or Headman. The EP's other two tracks are a tad more accessible/commercial: any veterans of the mid-90s handbag wars will smile upon hearing 'Feeling A Vibe', as Chrissy Ward's 'Right And Exact' vocal gets chopped 'n' looped in rambunctious disco-tech fashion then spiked with a little punk-funk attitude, while as for 'The James Brown Track' - well, you can guess who that one samples, can't you?!
Review: With a background in electrical engineering, Los Angeleno Jake Lubell aka Lubelski is always exploring the sounds and frequencies of analogue gear. As a long-time guest of the Desert Hearts crew and an anchor to his newer Percomaniacs label, he's no stranger to Dirtybird either - where he presents his sophomore effort entitled "Lost My Senses". The track is a good serving of wonky and bass-driven funk, with classic house motifs throughout. Second offering "Broken Motor" is one of the most tripped out minimal tech house jams we've heard all year, packed full of modular style blip, blurp and bleep all the way.
Review: Following up some great releases by industry veterans such as Dachshund, AND.ID and Argy in recent times, Leeds-based label Gruuv are back with more tough rolling tech house for the main room courtesy of rising Los Angelano Lubelski, following up promising efforts on elrow, Percomanaics and Deeperfect. As always, a west coast vibe is pervasive throughout the 'At Night' EP, from the deep and druggy boompty action of the title track, to some slinky and hypnotic tech house for the morning hours on "Don't You Leave Me Hanging" until getting back to the program on the bass-driven dub of "What U Got" - which is guaranteed to get those heads down on the dancefloor.
The More I Know, The Less I Know (original mix) - (6:05) 126 BPM
Review: Jake Lubell aka Lubelski is back on top Leeds label Gruuv, following up last year's Revolution EP and releases on Desert Hearts, Percomaniacs and SNOE. The tough rolling and funky tech house of "Dip Into A Dream" is a perfect fit for Audiojack's label, and the vocals on it are super sexy! This is followed by a wicked remix from fellow label regular David Pher, who takes the track into deeper and woozier territory - and is perfect for the warm-up or the afterhours alike. Second original offering "The More I Know, The Less I Know" (Original Mix) gets on it with a dirty acid driven bounce, that's sure to get the adrenaline levels up.
