Part 3
Marc Smith - Insisting Upon Itself
Elon - Cup Of Coffee
Franklin De Costa - Matters
Marc Smith - Insisting Upon Itself
Marc Smith leads off the series with a memorable opener. Smith is best known as a member of the production duo Coalition Of The Killing, one of Beatport's artists to watch in 2009. On "Insisting Upon Itself" he goes solo with heaps of dubby goodness on this late night tech house pearl. Squelching bass line accents add to the meticulous filter action that define this track. But it is the demented San Francisco bent that gives this track supreme dance floor appeal.
Elon - Cup Of Coffee
New York's rising talent Elon returns to Auralism with a follow-up to his hit EP "Snorting Pinky". This time around he presents something a little more subdued and stately. "Cup Of Coffee" is the kind of elegant house with pretty synth washes of melody that only Elon seems to be capable of creating.
Franklin De Costa - Matters
Berlin's Franklin De Costa has put out some fantastic records for well-established labels like Trapez, Leena and Sender. Here he concocts a wicked brew of deep, dubby house that descends precariously into a world of sounds that are both eternal midnight and luxuriously delicious afternoon. Despite the delicate precision of De Costa's melodies this track can still summon a tempest on late night dance floors with an incredibly chunky house bass line that instantly asserts itself.
Part 4
Moniker - Pocket Call
Dave Aju - Weebles
Alland Byallo - Into My Here
Moniker - Pocket Call
Moniker is comprised of Kenneth Scott and Eo, who in turn extract the sweetest sounds imaginable from lots and lots of gear. Here the two absorb twenty-five years worth of Chicago jack with a stripped down, tracky, almost minimal style cut that never loses its soul. The bass line anchoring this workout is a heads-down chugger that allows the track to remain firmly plugged into the future without sacrificing any of the groovy retro touches that paint all of the corners on "Pocket Call"
Dave Aju - Weebles
Dave Aju has to be one of San Francisco's most notable rising stars with critically acclaimed releases on Circus Company and is a welcome addition to the second Primaveral release. Cowbells and funky popping percussion hem in the vocal snippets forming them into a catchy hook giving the abstract techno framework of this track more of a San Francisco house swing.
Alland Byallo - Into My Here
Nightlight Music chief and [KONTROL SF] resident Alland Byallo delivers a heady quaff of tasty house with a dash of dark tribal atavism. "Into My Here" is very dramatic, complete with jarring horns, crazy vocals, and tension building pauses in the action for total peak hour perfection and one of the many unexpected surprises on this compilation.
