Bahia Deluxe – Quarantino Deluxe EP (BUSTED33)

The Quarantino Deluxe EP courtesy of Bahia Deluxe is a smooth engaging ride, an instrumental, Electronic and chill four-track Trip Hop EP with sleek sounds and beats.  ‘La Victoria’ kicks it off with a spicy horn melody swinging over dope deep beats and glitchy drums peppered with light airy synths.  ‘The Chase MTFR!’ begins on a street-wise beat dropping into arpeggios, funky bass riffs, sound samples, and apt filtering with a disposition of boss cinematic suspense.  ‘Hide Out’ progresses on bit crushed beats, stray wobbles and lovely high synths into and out of a tempo of about 96 BPM and a flute laced melody. ‘Bulletproof’ begins with a drum beat juggle manipulated and dips into a deep electrified bassline, horns with reverb, and a swinging beat, taking us higher into muted organ keys.  Groovy, spiritual, velvety and savory this short but sweet EP seeps nicely into your mind, body and imagination with plush cleverly created music.

Creative Control – Cultivation EP (BUSTED32)

Inspiring, culturally rich and pleasing, the Cultivation EP from Nashville’s Creative Control dips into innovative sampling, into the breast of Trip Hop, instrumental Hip Hop and Math Rock influences.  ‘Black Hole’ introduces us into the casual, slightly psychedelic and beat manipulating experimental sonic palette of the artist.  ‘Fedora & Lace’ captivates with a fatty bassline, funky reverberating guitar, and infectious seductive melody.  Following is ‘Kayo High-Step’ with piano notes and a guitar rhythm like the feeling of a bright morning, a slow motion dance in the grass, layered with samples cut in, and beat repeats.  ‘Anahata’ ramps in with distorted wildly colorful sounds into hard-hitting drums, a resounding low frequency, mesmerizing synths and complex subtle guitar riffs that all fade out.  In ‘Midnight Blue’ a familiar singer croons, live easy-going drums set the mood, as does the crackle of analog vinyl, sweetly purring strings and a tender trumpet. ‘Dark Cultivation’ spellbinds with sorrowful, beautiful female vocals, menacing cello, a deep booming kick drum and dark rhythm.  A lovely panoramic album often capturing emotive slices of the past in present day forms, fans of Alias, 13 & God, Boards of Canada and Prefuse73 would dig this EP.
