Repress 2015 - The Oscillat Music label kicks off the Marabouda EP, featuring a killer set of deep house grooves from Sam. From the opening title tracks, with its breathy chords and jazzy keys, which reference classic Chicago house with a uniquely modern flavour, through the Joey Anderson-like weirdness of -Storm Refuge- and pumping rhythms of -Decoy-, the producer demonstrates his killer ear for classic deep house textures. A must-check release from a label to keep tabs on.
Sales Information:
Oscillat Music is the new label run by Lazare Hoche, Malin Genie and Samuel Andre Madsen. Oscillat Music is dedicated to the releasing house and techno music with a dubby flavor. This first EP is an example of just that. After releasing on labels like Fathers & Sons, Delaphine, Pluie/Noir and Subwax he now turns to a slightly more traditional 909 based sound adding his own touch. A1. The EP starts off with the title track Marabouda. 10 minuts packed with evolving melodies, male whispers and a 909 groove that will get the floor going. A2. This second track Storm Refuge is sounding exactly like that - a quiet solitary place during a storm. The track begins with fat dub chords and long bassnotes sneaking into the soundscape. Then after a short while we hear some sparse 808 patterns introducing a groove and putting the dub sounds into a groove. B1. The first track on the b-side is Decoy. Soft chords are setting the vibe in the intro with some vocal FX introducing the verse sung by a male vocal. The track builds with the chords opening up and a bassline melody is introduced halfway through adding to the track a nice gimmick. B2. Last track Bahia is a club groover with a simple powerful groove, a pad with lots of tension and a melodic bassline forming the theme. Club tune!
