A1 Rhymes365 A2 Hot Mess B1 Dig It Dale Howard is rapidly ascending the ranks of the underground, deftly making the transition from 'rising star' to 'one of house music's hottest properties'. A cursory glance at his hectic release schedule serves as a testament to this, with recent output alongside the likes of Noir, Get Physical and Gruuv to name a few. The Rhymes365 EP is a no-nonsense volley of house jackers with undeniable dancefloor appeal. The title track lures the listener in with warm shimmering chords, which give way to a bassline of tectonic proportions and addictive New Jersey-esque organ stabs. ‘Hot Mess' continues this winning formula, with a tight garage shuffle and chopped snatches of diva vox, dropping into a thunderous groove which hits right between the eyes. ‘Dig It' is centered around an alluring male vocal sample slathered in reverb and delay, to create a hypnotic juxtaposition to the raw chunky drums which sit underneath.
