Random Movement/Squash - Scotch Bonnet/P-Style
Various
Release
date: 1-12-09
Label: Intrigue Music
Intrigue Music is on a roll. Although only launched at the beginning of the year, this latest release from US stalwart Random Movement and fresh UK talent Squash is already the fourth for Ben Soundscape’s lovingly curated imprint.
‘Scotch Bonnet’ is classic Random Movement: a laidback roller with a soulful swagger that’s alive with lush musicality and riddled with detail. Set to a groove of natural breaks, the warm bass and lazy keys are set afire by a delightful, crooning Jazz vocal. This is a slice of proper ‘liquid funk’ brought bang up to date – a rarity in today’s increasingly minimal D&B soundscape.
With ‘P Style’, Intrigue is proud to introduce the awesome talents of Squash, vivaciously marking the beginning of what’s set to be an exciting year for this London-based producer. Impressively fusing the most modern sounding of bass-led grooves with a reassuringly familiar piano leadline, Squash flaunts his studio skills and sonic insight. Relentlessly interesting and inherently progressive, this is a remarkable debut that refuses to settle in any pigeon-hole.
This latest pair of tracks to come thundering from the Intrigue stable is doing serious damage on
dancefloors worldwide.
