Just Be – “After the Storm” [review]
Leave a commentJanuary 20, 2013 by DJ Elroy
Out next week on Get Physical is “After the Storm”, a three-cut release of deep and deeper house music. Remember when I last reported that Layo & Bushwacka! were calling it quits? Well, fans can rest a bit easier because after that storm the sunny skies have returned and Matthew “Bushwacka” Benjamin is keeping the hot house music tradition alive on his newest project.
All three tracks are lush with warm basslines and layered percussion. “After the Storm” (Up Mix) is a straightforward groovin’ house track with some subtle Latin vocals and a chuggin’ vibe. The Deep Mix stirs in a bit more of everything and adds extra percussion as well as some tropical woodflute and a few easy guitar riffs. “Out of the System” brings in some techy beats and plenty of peeps and pings layered with frantic drums and is a great flipside to the title track. This is definitely one to keep your eyes open for!
