Beat Pharmacy - Constant Pressure, May 17, 2011
This review is from: Constant Pressure (Audio CD)
Beat Pharmacy's
Constant Pressure continues his unique take on dub techno and deep house, straddling both worlds with a good sense of balance. Though "Club Dread" feels more firmly in the house side, it still has a fun vibe to keep it spry. If you prefer dub in a more 'pure' form, you can't go wrong with "Hot Spot Splash." But the house influences predominate: "Tangerine," for instance, has a warmth to it that suggests jazzhouse, and Ursula Rucker's vocals on "Pieces" lends an additional melodic note. "Caramel" emphasizes the dub in a big way, with a pseudo-African flute to highlight the roots element, while "Worship" suggests the Timewriter's classic track "Skywritings." But it's "Velocity" that brings the dub half and the house half together in harmony at last.

More music! My taste in music is rather eclectic. In my studio and during workshops I play many different styles - classical, world, jazz, lounge... This month I needed a strong dance beat to get me going! Those of you who have been in my workshops have probably heard some these. Enjoy!
