Having had it's best year yet in 2008 with tracks and mixes from the likes of
Class71, Move D, Tom Demac and Solomun as well as weathering the storm that was
the sad demise of Neuton Distribution, Four:Twenty return in 2009 as strong as
ever with this extended play release from James Mowbray & Leiam Sullivan, "Tell
Me I Can". Comprising of eight original tracks and one rather stunning remix
from Innvervision genius Christian Prommer, "Tell Me I Can" is one hell of a way
to kick off the year and doesn't disappoint which is unsurprising given Mowbray
& Sullivan's pedigree. Here, the due have created a body of work which draws on
a huge palette of sounds drawn together with a strong theme of melody; old
school house sensibilities collide with modern production techniques on "SCR",
the organic seamlessly melt into the inorganic in the percussive "Come Out Of
the Shade" and early-Aphex ambience gets a dub-techno shot in the arm on "Free
Harmonic Blues". Even the more teutonic, techno-influenced side of the
Sheffield/London based pair sneaks in some cleverly placed keys on "Katabatic"
and the Kraftwerkian "Oort" before the sublime, true deep house of "Untitled"
draws us toward the title cut where an understated arpeggio and ethnic vocal
come together into a near perfect example of modernist, deep, house music.
Finally, Christian Prommer takes on the aforementioned "Tell Me I Can" and
proves why he is where he is by respectfully and deftly propelling the track in
to hypnotic, peak-time territory in the best possible way. Just amazing! Enjoy!!
