Pistol Pete with 3 serious house groovers for Idle Hands.
It has been a good year for Idle Hands. The label reached its 50th release with a release from Livity Sound’s Pev and November saw the release of Parris’ latest 12′ featuring a KMOS remix. For the labels final vinyl release of 2018 it is the turn of Stockholm’s Pistol Pete. Idle Hands boss Chris Farrell has long been a fan of this artists work. He may not have put much out over the years but each release has found a welcome home at the Bristol record shop from which the label operates. On this release we find three club focused House tracks, each exuding a warmth one would hope for in these cold winter monts. ‘Orphan’ opens the set with crunchy, swinging drums and the deft use of a sample. ‘Lundagatan’ continues things apace with some concentrated drum programming and a chopped up soul sample. ‘Esqpads’ rounds things off with a warm Deep House feel and grooving bassline.
