............................
We welcome Belfast based Thomas O'Loan back to Piston Recordings
with The Good Times EP, which follows hot on the heels of his
last effort here with, Gaze (Cause A Friend Said So). Also known
for his moniker, Dace, Thomas may well be a young, fresh-faced
artist, but he exudes a profound understanding of music, wrapped
up in contemporary compositions. He started to produce music at
just 14 after his Mother signed him up for a music making
course. Before this, he had been playing drums and a little
piano. Unsurprisingly, he lists the Rhodes and piano as some of
his favourite sounds along with the double bass. Thomas also
loves DJing, for now though, he only does this in his bedroom.
His inspirations include A Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde and
Scott Diaz. At such a young age, he already possesses the skills
to weave seamless chords and build dancefloor ready grooves.
Always a pleasure to have him here.
Thomas produces yet another gem of a track with The Good Times.
The intro hooks you in straight away with a rich, warm piano
groove. Smooth, mature sounding muted trumpets accompany the
beautiful chords before a groovy, breaks drum arrangement comes
through. On the break, the piano continues to lull before the
track comes back into a four to the floor beat for the duration.
Such an immersive and highly enjoyable track, top-notch.
Goodbye To (The Good Times) offers a contrasting take on its
predecessor, delivering a much grittier, raw experience. We're
still treated to a masterful piano chord structure which is
accompanied by mesmerizing pads. The drums etch out a very urban
vibe which is confirmed by some cool scratching. Deep and lush
with an edge, another solid slice that is not to be missed.
