From Leeds deep house specialists FINA, run by SIMON MORREL, comes a solo single from Michigan producer APPIAN that stands out for its classic, no-nonsense cool! The MONTY LUKE Remix is superb too.
APPIAN, an up-and-coming producer and personal favorite who runs the SLY FOX label out of Ann Arbor, Michigan, just west of Detroit, delivers a solo single on Leeds' buzzworthy FINA. The originals brim with presence — high-caliber deep house that sparks the listener's imagination — from the title track "Chatter" (sample2), with its magical layers and memorable melodies coaxed out of simple gear, to "Astronomer" (sample3), a cool, atmospheric cut with a slightly raw texture and a bent, acidic mid-range phrase looping throughout. On top of that, there's a remix by MONTY LUKE, who heads up Detroit's BLACK CATALOGUE: "Operator (Monty Luke Mix)" (sample1) is a brilliant reworking that quotes a vaguely familiar disco synth phrase while building densely around lyrical, top-end tones. Recommended!!
