Review: In the words of the team behind debutant imprint JANX, "Hi Hats & Low Lives" delivers "four cuts of naughty, sample-based house music" from a quartet of friends based in Berlin, Istanbul, Essen and Ibiza. Sarp Yilmaz kicks things off via the faintly foreboding, early morning deep house grooves, sustained horror organs and chilling, elongated piano notes of "Bless The Funk", before Kevin Over peppers a swinging, jazzy house groove with warm stabs and crackly hip-hop samples on "Cash Machine 2 Blocks Away". Elsewhere, Frag Maddin goes ultra-deep via the warm electric pianos and jazzy bass guitar of "Poke Along", while Boj Angler heaps dust-encrusted samples and sharp cello lines atop a fluid deep jazz-house groove on standout "Rascak".
