Drumpoet Community - DPC 011-1

Drumpoet Community is a nice little Swiss label that’s working in cooperation with Compost to release music in the style of „b-boy house & technosoul“ – pretty inventive pigeonholing by the guys themselves, I must say. Quarion’s „Karasu“ was an instant hit for me last year. This time it’s Germany’s Sascha Dive with “DEep”.

There are two tracks on this EP, both warm percussive grooves. “Deep” (a remix job by Samuel Davis) works on your basic contagious Kerri Chandler style keyboard sequence, with the occasional gospel minister preaching “everybody in the orroughorroggh place”. We hear you alright. “Annihilating Rhythm” replaces the minister with (someone sounding a lot like) Darth Vader and adds some not-to-be-joked-around-with tom-tom action. Of the two, I will be opting for “Deep” for the old school vibe early in the set.

A: DEep (Samuel Davis Deep4Life Mix)
