HIGH LIFE - (6:31)
124 BPM NIGHT SHIFT - (7:03) 124 BPM
Review: Having made his debut for the label way back in 2012, Milwaukee-based DJ/producer Richard Galling is one of Jolly Jams' longest serving artists. His sixth EP for DJ Kaos's imprint is a powerful affair, with Galling offering up a trio of sleazy late night machine jams that sit somewhere between early '80s proto-techno, muscular EBM and jackin' Chicago house. Our pick of the bunch is opener "High Life", a throbbing workout whose peak-time power is the result of a mix of thrusting synth-bass, restless drum machine cowbells and a heavy low-register acid line. The similarly inclined "Night Shift" is, if anything, even heavier and more powerful, while "Mercy" sees Galling wrap mangled TB-303 lines around a suitably weighty beat.
