Alex Blaxx drops four original tracks for Dessous Recordings following
a couple of very well received releases on Buzzing Fly and Sccucci
Manucci. Blaxx now resides in Manchester by way of Cape Town - both
cities with strong house music credentials. Blaxx himself excels in
lush house productions with plenty of soul and a lot of dance floor
knowledge.
The EPs title track Its Been Done Before gives a healthy nod to the
hugely fertile period of New York house in the 1990s, but retains a
freshness and spark that sets it apart from many of his
contemporaries. Its highly musical and organic, with hugely effective
hooks, builds and pads that will bring smiles to the faces of dancers
worldwide.
Gilmore Heureux is a darker affair, with a raw evolving groove with a
Detroit flavor. Its got plenty of grit, and a few innovative twists
and turns along the way.
All the Difference slows the pace slightly, unwinding a killer groove
driven by a piano and punchy drums. About midway through a sublime
synth bass joins the fray, and the track lifts off into the ether.
mixed source masters - bit depth / sample rate varies across tracks:
24bit / 44.1kHz (tracks: 01 02 03)
16bit / 44.1kHz (tracks: 04)
release tagged 16BIT to reflect the lowest bit depth present.
