Release Notes:
Seattle-based Jeff Samuel has always had a distinct ear for the funkier
elements of house music and is famous for intelligent, nuanced DJ sets.
After recording music for numerous different labels (Poker Flat, Lo-Fi,
Trapez) Samuel offers a confident stylistic step forward, building on
complex subtleties that never betray the beat at the forefront.
AwtÆs title track reveals SamuelÆs inclination towards funk, as a
massive groove is created through the gradual addition of percussive
elements. Samuel turns everything up a notch on ôHeb.Gbzö, where the
beats are heavier, almost jacking, and the impressive attention to
detail is maintained via panning bursts of reverberation and seemingly
endless rhythmic wiles. ôThe Zoopö offers some nostalgia, as squelching
tones cleverly punctuate the off-beats of an 8-bit motif that could get
anyone moving. ôMonissö has a more restrained take on previous themes,
sacrificing neither their seriousness nor their playfulness; looping
micro-melodies and treated synthesizers pop up in a charmingly
haphazard arrangement.
