Review: Schematic steps up with a beautiful four tracker on Liquid Brilliants. Evocatively entitled the Mellifluous EP, first track "Wherever I Am" is a flurry of flutes, ticking breaks and floaty, dream-like atmospherics. And so the tone is set for the rest of the EP. "Memory", a slightly edgier piece, with rolling beats, murmuring bass and bongo pattering steps things up, before "Curves", a punchier, vocal-led beast kicks in with rough drums and grumbling subs. Rounding things off, we return to where we started from with "I'm Losin You", a strumming, sonorous liquid roller with gentle, lilting rhythms aplenty. Lovely.
Review: Russian label Liquid Brilliants return to their stridently upbeat Riders EP series for a second time, with six tracks of typically summer flushed rolling beats dipped in liquid excellence. Jammy kicks things off with "Spend the Night With Me" which expertly lines some chipmunked R & B vocals alongside warm melodies. Alongside it Haik-Adu & Londy's "4 Forward" implements a similarly liquefied rhythmic approach to a naggingly familiar and sweetly soulful sample. Elsewhere the brilliantly titled "Root Beer Float" sees Bank draw on lilting Oriental tones over a sinewy bassline, whilst Three20 drops the biggest sounding roller here with the expansive tough workout "Care Package".
