KERRI CHANDLERの〈Kaoz Theory〉からフランス・ハウス 10年にわたって〈Rutilance Recordings〉を展開するDJ Steawの12インチ。
Kerri Chandler’s Kaoz Theory welcomes the return of Dj Steaw in January 2024 with his ‘Get Back To The Fonk’ EP.
Parisian House stalwart Dj Steaw has grown to become a widely respected figure in the field of raw, underground, classic House over the past decade, racking up releases on many leading imprints of the genre such as Hot Haus, Meta, Local Talk, Step and Phonogramme as well as his own Steaward, Rutilance and House Puff. Here though he returns to Kaoz Theory following the success of his ‘Colour Of Mind’ EP in 2022.
Title-cut ‘Get Back To The Fonk’ opens and sees Dj Steaw lay down a jazzy keys and stab sequences, a bouncy bass line and heavily swung drums alongside an amalgamation of spoken word vocals and chants. ‘Don’t Stop’ follows next and shift focus into deeper realms with warm, fluttering chords, swaying subs and airy strings running atop of a robust rhythm. ‘In My Body’s House’ is up next to open the B-side, embracing a true House feel this time through the use of organic piano melodies, sax licks and organ lines intertwined with a bumpy bass hook and dubbed out vocal effects. ‘Grey Matter’ then concludes the original material, focusing on multilayered dreamy keys, resonant flutters and skippy percussion.

〈Rutilance Recordings〉〈House Puff〉を拠点に、Hot Haus recからLocal Talkまで様々なレーベルからリリースするパリのハウスシーンの中核の一人DJ Steaw。Mad Houseからのリリースに続いてKaoz Theoryに帰還。鍵盤フレーズやヴォイスチョップを使いながら硬質なビート&ベース、ダビー空間「Get Back To The Fonk」筆頭に4トラックス。ソウルフルさと、エレクトロニック・タイトめで宇宙観のある、Kaoz Theoryらしい音。 (サイトウ)
