Bruce Aisher Presents G-Stylz "Transient Collaborator EP"

Bruce Aisher, best known for his work as part of duo Brancaccio & Aisher, appears on the Renaissance label here under the alias G-Stylz, also known as Gutterstylz. Both tracks on this release have been given the seal of approval by John Digweed who featured them on his recent Transitions Vol. 2 compilation. Renaissance has been releasing a steady stream of excellent tracks including Seal Clubbing, Lucky Heather, and the phenomenal Crop Duster. This release, entitled the ´Transient Collaborator EP´, is no exception.

The main event on this release is ´Can´t Get Enough´, a monstrous dancefloor heavyweight that fuses elements of tech and progressive house styles into one addictive track. I first heard a portion of this track on a Renaissance video podcast featuring a John Digweed interview and was immediately hooked. As soon as I was able to get a full copy of the track I simply couldn´t stop listening to it, it really is that good. Things get started with a solid drum pattern laying the foundation as the massive synth leads make their way into the mix with the addition of a few vocal effects. Nearly a minute and a half in the kick drum comes into play and the track takes off into full flight. The lead synth occupies the low end while a second synth creates atmosphere on the high end. There is great use of stabs and effects throughout, in addition to a small but catchy vocal sample of the tracks title, that complement the big room feel of this monster track. Everything just sounds very tight and well produced. I´m not sure I can say enough good things about this track, as it simply is one of the best things I´ve heard in a while. It´s a real shame that it wasn´t featured more prominently on Transitions Vol. 2, as it´s unfortunately used as a transition track there.

The second track is ´Belong To Me´, a funkier and more basic house track that keeps things relatively simple. It´s unfortunately very underwhelming in comparison to Can´t Get Enough, and comes off as a filler track for the release, however I wouldn´t consider it a deal breaker. The track´s focus is a funky bass line which is accompanied by vocal samples and a lead synth line that drops in every so often to change things up a bit. There isn´t a whole lot else to be said about this pretty basic track.

Taking into account the simplicity of Belong To Me, this is still a stellar release featuring one of the strongest tracks I´ve heard thus far this year in Can´t Get Enough. This tech meets progressive house stomper is the kind of track you begin to anticipate hearing in a club environment from the first time you hear it. Renaissance does it again with another great release on par with Crop Duster in my opinion, and lets hope there´s more where that came from.
