Nick Harris has been on the bridge of the good ship NRK Music for the last 14
years, steering a course for the label that has worked with almost every legend
in dance music. Earlier this year he took the step from label boss to artist
with his debut single "In The Shadows of Simian EP" and now he follows it up
with an EP that shows that Harris' years of experience as an A&R (and DJ) have
left him with an ear for outstanding quality production. "Zap Dance, And Other
Moves EP" kicks off with opening track "Zap Dance", a rolling and pulsating
slice of tech fuelled house with a hypnotic, head down vibe. Subtle vocal edits,
tight drums and understated strings create a deep and engaging atmosphere whilst
the simple linear arrangement keeps things tightly in the groove from start to
finish, class stuff! Next up we have the wonderful "(Turn Down) The Lights", a
stripped and sparse piece of basement house that uses simple drums and an old
school DX style bassline to huge effect. This is certain to be a DJ favourite
from the package with its razor sharp production and nod to house music's
history. On the flip, "Bang The Box" goes straight for the jugular with it's no
nonsense rhythm track and speaker testing B-line. Once again Harris' house music
pedigree is on show here with a strong sense of the dance musicÆs past meeting
its future. The highly distinctive "Bang the Box" vocal lifts things and sticks
in the mind long after the final bar has elapsed, and those in the know will
recognise where Harris is doffing his cap to on this cut. Nick HarrisÆs
productions sits amongst hallowed company on the catalogue of NRK, but it has to
be said they more than hold their own as these latest recordings show that he is
a genuine talent in his own right.
