Dousk came into 2005 with some brilliant music for labels such as Bedrock, Klik
and Lost Language. A professionally trained musician in jazz and classical, he's
also finished an electronic music production and engineering course to expand
his art. He knows how to capture a listener with his deep and textured tunes,
but always finds the right amount of funk to settle in there. Dousk pulls out
all the stops for Kasey Taylor's Vapour Recordings with two great 12" singles
forming an EP, with the first part featuring a lovely bubbly progressive tune
called 'Estrange' and a deep house number entitled 'Snowcone'. 'Estrange' is a
class tune. It's a brilliant flow of bubbling melodies and deep bassline grooves
sat on top of watery tones and electro infused drums. The percussion builds with
toms, effects, and a kick, that carries the song through a blissful bouncy
melody. Random synths weave in between the percussion, adding layer up layer of
beauty. A throaty bass whip of a bassline starts in, while the momentum really
steps up and throws us into a break. The synths swim around creating a dramatic
depth, while the funk starts bubbling up again. A minimal drum change takes us
back into the kick, while the synths and spacey washing tones fill in the space.
This is a beautiful song that really needs to be heard. Touching on a deep house
vibe, 'Snowcone' is a thoughtful and lush piece of music. Tribal drums accompany
a shuffling beat which opens up to smooth synths that glide together creating a
beautiful slow paced tune. Tiny melodies and guitar licks hide deep in the
background, while a main hook captures your ears. A deep groove sets in
underneath riding up and down keys before dropping into a short break that makes
room for a new richer bassline. It's a bit funkier and takes us to the end of
this mellow tune. This release is a lush body of work, and much like everything
he does is something that you must find. Includes Estrange 'Breaks Version'.
