REJ 070EP
|
Rejected co-boss, Edwin Oosterwal, remains focused on the roots with two Chicago-esque floor-heaters that nod to the seminal indelible legacy of Trax in their stark, direct ways. "Elastic" is a visceral and robust construction where the angular bass hook is constantly modulating and articulating, mirroring the drum elements. Everything you need to know about "Let There Be House" is in the title. The quintessential sound of the mother groove boiled down to its core groove fundamentals. Humanized rhythm hits, sexy rim-shots, staccato claps, and a rubber ball bassline that disappears and bounces back with even more funk on every section.

REJ 065EP
|
Following Vamp (2016), Rejected co-boss Edwin Oosterwal returns to the controls for two more pristine, floor-focused late-night grooves. An homage to Chicago's deepest foundations and the warehouse-shaking legacy of Jesse Saunders's Dance Mania, "Bleep" is all about the relentless jack, palpitating sub, and crazed lead tone. As with previous Oosterwal dispatches, contrast is key. Keeping his sound firmly in the US but travelling due east to Jersey, the warm organ-primed tones of "Babe" soothe the "Bleep"-sizzled edges of the soul as a driving, loopy vocal sample and shimmering synths develop momentum, developing into a deep hypnotic heads-down groove.
