Habersham "Inconstant / Expansion"

Damon Fonooni is one of the most talented people to come from what is said to be a "new breed" of producers and DJs from America. His programming and skills are nothing short of brilliant, and his depth and mental sound imagery cannot be denied. For Jason Jollins´ imprint Acute Recordings Habersham takes charge of the tribal business and gives us ´Inconstant´ while on the flip, he delves into his deeper side showcasing his love for jazzy pads and watery grooves on ´Expansion´.

Habersham gets down and dirty with his tribal grooves on ‘Inconstant´. Deep tribal drumming starts in with a breaky house beat layered on top. The drums sound as if a real drummer had jammed for hours, with the fat hits and high hats. There is a dark mood throughout the tune with the lack of synths or melody giving all the focus on the bass. The heavy sound walks slowly pulsing with the drums in a sinster vibe, giving way to the perfect background for the creepy vocal.

On the flip ´Expansion´ starts in with watery vocal samples, cool techy drums, and a nice jazzy pad stab. A nice warm groove sets in as the pads fall on top of the drums and the bassline moves underneath. A cool melody drops in while the drums off into a break beat showcasing Habersham´s amazing programming. This is a smooth dirty funk track that explores Damon´s deeper side.

This release should become a classic for Acute Recordings. Habersham has the ability to suck you in and play with your head when it comes to his programming, tones and moods and ´Inconstant´ and ´Expansion´ are two more songs that do just that.
