Review: Quite possibly the most consistent artist Playaz have ever known, Taxman is always there for you when you need him. After his monthly assault of tunes last year he returns with yet more fresh goods in the form of "Can't You See". Breezier and lighter than his usual sledgehammer signature, the sensual vocal, dreamy chords and subtle rave elements roll-up together with total uplift... And allow just enough space for a stinky bassline to cut through in all the right places. One for the dancefloor dreamers.
Review: The Undagrnd Freqz team have been on absolute fire over the last few months, unleashing banger after banger from the infamous duo of Matt Jam Lamont and Echelon. The spicy showcasing continues with this fabulous blast from the past in 'Can't See You'. The vocal mix is our first port of call, which takes a typically smooth vocal and slices it up to high heaven, resulting in a super groovy display of UKG mastery between the minimal melodic stutters and pulsating subs below. We also take in the 'Dub' mix version, which allows us to explore a much more stripped back creation, focussing on unpredictable drum stabs and a much darker set of textures. Awesome work.
Review: Following a fine outing on Local Talk late last year, sample-digging beat-maker turned deep house don Cuthead returns to home city imprint Uncanny Valley. Can't You See sits somewhere between an expansive EP and a perfectly formed mini-album, offering up an octet of cuts that neatly summarizes his hybrid approach to music-making. That means a solid mixture of dusty, warm and rolling deep house shufflers (see the vibraphone-sporting "Mount Platti", Andres style jazziness of "Sweet" and rock solid "Can't You See") and blazed hip-hop instrumentals ("Kimono", "Tranquility Base", "Too Dark To See Tomorrow"), with the odd surprise thrown in (bass music-influenced opener "Lunar Lander" and the punk-funk-influenced 130BPM stomp of "Schlagzeug Fallt Die Treppe Runter").
