After delivering two of 100% Silk's dopest 12"s and a collaboration with LA
Vampires, Brooklyn's Octo Octa delivers the label's most anticipated long
player. Like his earlier anthem, 'I'm Trying', his 'Between Two Selves'
perfectly characterises 100% Silk's shift from super lo-fi towards much
cleaner, sleeker deep house tropes whilst retaining something of a raw,
unusual, almost psychedelic fuzziness that you're unlikely to find in the
latest Hot Creations spawn. Over its eight trax Mr Octa succinctly references
classic Chicago, New York/Jersey, Detroit and moodier European flavours with
efficient flair, instinctively reducing their essence into lean and refreshed
new forms. Pushed to pick highlights, we'd first point to awesome closing cut,
'Fear' for pure and lusting dancefloor potential, and then to 'Come Closer',
which somehow manages to make those hackneyed down-pitched vocals sound quite
pleasing in balance with the cut's glum house atmosphere and depressed beat,
but nuff of the moody stuff, 'cause the rest manages that fine task of being
perky without the earnestness, as with the breakbeat-spiked swerver 'His Kiss'
and the lucidly sensual bliss space of opener, 'Who I Will Become'.
