UPFRONTBEATS

The Back ‘n’ Front series reaches it’s 3rd edition with the help from Jamie Trench and label veteran Georgi Barrel. If you familiar with sinnmusik*’s output then you’ll have heard Jamie’s cracking EP for the label already and if not you are in for a treat as he opens the record up with a BUMP.

Bump is a drum work out that is tough and funky ready to assault the darker corners of clubland. It’s the smaller elements that’s truly define this track as it weaves in and out of it’s tense moments. Jamie’s inherent knack for an infectious groove really give this track a life of its own. His other offering is The LBO. In this we see Jamie flexing his more melodic muscles with a tonally rich riff over a swarm of lush heavenly pads, think hazy late-summer parties.

Label mainstay Georgi Barrel opens up the flip with his Cosmic Mysteries. Complex synth work and a chunky sample-based feel steer this EP in a new direction, you feel the track breathing as it swells until it gets broody and deep towards the end.

Closing proceedings is Misdemeanor this ends the record on a much softer note. A welcome change of pace to an EP that offers a well rounded set of sounds.

The last track is a very pretty and understated piece of house music. Soft pads, Tribal percussion, and an expertly worked vocal close off what is a fantastic new record from sinnmusik*.
