HYPE 058EP

Gary Gritness lays down more devastating funk and classy riffing over his trusty Roland 606 on the second volume of his Sugar Cane Chronicles. "Steady Choosin'" gets downright fusion-jazz and Gritness fires out seductive melodies and Latin piano playing of the highest order, whilst "Countin' Up With Starr" delves into a darker well of synth mania, with a sexual groove reminiscent of Rick James. "Runner Joe's Revenge" ramps up the hysteria for a gritty and colossal production that typifies his love of cyberpunk soundtracks. The low-slung "Pool Shark Loot" carries all the signature Gritness sounds, with P-Funk sleaziness on top.

HYPE 051EP
|
With two releases under his belt on Clone, Gary Gritness aka Slikk Tim lands on Hypercolour with The Sugar Cane Chronicles Vol. 1. Hailing from France, Gritness had been spotted by Underground Resistance's "Mad" Mike Banks as "one to watch"; Here, a spot-on blend of raw drum programming and blissful jazz funk riffs, "Preachin' Some Tight Game" sets the EP's tone just right with its infectious melodies and cruising groove. Darker 1980s-soundtrack vibes are explored on "Stayin' Strong Hand" with its thick analog atmosphere, while the laid-back vibes of "Working Girls" demand to be played in the Cadillac with the top down.
