Claire Ripley, the London based producer and head of her new Phobic
records imprint sends over some lovely extended and hypnotic vibes
with this magnificent four tracker, backed up by a classy remix by
Gorge of 8bit and Cecille fame. Just the right medicine as summer
draws to a close!
Written and produced by herself, and engineered by Justin Drake, the
EP captures all the excitement and promise that a new artist like
Claire exudes, plus the added bonus of having one half of Peace
Division working the mix. Nice!
Title track ,Labyrinth introduces us into Claires world with long,
drifting arrangements full of tension and cooly placed melodic
sentiments. Deeply tuned, chunky drums work the floor while only a
handful of carefully selected elements sing their tune. Flirting
between sunrise synth-lines and tingling atmospheric moments its a
haunting adventure into modern hypno-house.
Gorges remix of ,Labyrinth lifts the energy a notch with his trademark
rolling drums and pushing energy from the very start. Using the main
hooks with discretion this 8 minute drum workout is a tough, addictive
and essential club tool. Check it on the floor!
Carrying on Claires unique house vision, ,Utopia takes us further with
its equally hypnotic blend of synths and crisp, solid state drum
patterns. Saying it all it needs to say while only using a reduced
sound palette, its modern take on the work of the founding fathers of
the minimal sound.
,Sonar raises the spirit once again with an urgent, pushing vibe
reminiscent of those classic New York house jams. Energetic and
focused, and no doubt inspired by the famous open-air sessions of a
certain yearly gathering, this is peaking stuff as we edge towards the
later hours.
Finally the percussive and sexily stripped ,Kismet arrives to warm us
down and tease out the final dance. Deceptively complex, the long
intertwined vocal passages and spaced out drums combine in a deep
tripping story thats underpinned by a pitching floorshaker of a
bassline.
