After the success of the debut Deadboy EP, Well Rounded Records return to the fray with a seriously funky three tracker by Brightons Ultrasound.
"Heavy Roll" journeys back to the sound of early US House then adds Broken Beat informed live drum loops, flowing P-funk flavoured bassline and keys and arpeggiations from deep space. These are punctuated by vocal snatches from much-loved vocalist Robert Owens. In fact, the momentum of this tune is not dissimilar to his classic with David Morales 'I'll be your friend'. This track achieves a timeless appeal that casually transcends current trends - believe!
On the flip "Heavy Roll (Future Funky Re-rub)" strips the elements back revealing a harder-edged version. A mix of two halves, it's all about the weightless falsetto vocal drop which leads into a 2nd bass-line that absolutely kicks things onto another level. Original stuff indeed. Not to be forgot is last track "Hard Way" featuring thoughtful vocals over tuff Chicago-style drums alongside an unusual combo of deep chords and grimey bass.
We've already received positive feedback from Bok Bok, Jackmaster, Martyn, TRG, Geiom, Dub U, Boomnoise, Deadboy and more to come...
