TARON-TREKKA has channeled his admiration for Detroit house into his own unique brand of machine-driven funk through releases on labels like BRUT! and FREUDE AM TANZEN. “Artys Lisii” in particular was a masterpiece! This time around, too, with its undeniable depth, I have a feeling it’s going to grab the hearts of house fans. The way he uses a trumpet to create a deep mood against a backdrop of ambient field recordings is masterful, and the core—the bassline and beat—really hits you right in the hips (Sample 1). The post-beatdown section after the break, with its acid-tinged development, really grabs you (Sample 2), and the sticky, slow-motion beatdown—heavily influenced by THEO PARRISH (Sample 3)—is the perfect sound for the deep of the night.
