Boston's deep disco veteran and all-around talent WALTER JONES drops his first single in about three years, out on the Texas label WHISKEY PICKLE!
His 2003 debut single "All God's Children" is the stuff of legend, and this timeless technician — whose PERMANENT VACATION single was played by NICK THE RECORD — is finally back with a long-awaited new one! "Razzamatazz" (sample1) soars on an airy synth melody rising out of dreamily shimmering layers, while the electric-boogie cut "The Grinder" (sample2) is superb too, trippy effects creeping in as that bassline — the heart of his groove — sets the floor alight. On top of that there's "Harmonic Urgency" (sample3), a beatdown that keeps the BPM low while burning in dirty phrases for some shady funk, and the closing non-beat track "Making Love," where beautiful synths intertwine with spoken word — wonderful. Recommended!
