UNIVERSAL EP

hot on the heels of their recent twelve from tilman and florist, charmin records are very excited to be motoring onto their third release with this excellent va bringing in material from new friends of the label. the east german imprint expand their sound to take in rougher techno, acid, and also more hypnotic and spacious territory. the artists on the roster are label founder florist, stanley schmidt, matt thibideau and billy dalessandro and the result is a diverse excursion that stays true to the core ethos of the label.
after the success of their first release charmin are back with another high quality wax. this offering showcases the talents of florist and close friend of the imprint tilman, all pressed up on heavyweight vinyl with a lovingly designed cover. the ep kicks off with “proof nothing” which is a statement of intent. deep, churning piano chords overlaid with delayed vocal samples all underpinned with a solid beat and deep bass. next up “raw” does exactly what it says on the tin. this is a stripped down thumper with crunchy claps and an infectious groove. “once again” has a looser, more percussive feel to it with machine gun snares rattling off overt the top of a killer chord line. bringing things to a close is “mood swings” which builds brooding atmospheres and eerie vocal snippets. all in all this ep carries on the good work of this exciting new label. charmin continues its journey to bring you uncompromising, underground house music of the highest order.
