Back with a bang and brandishing four deep house cuts, London upstart label Five Fold Records welcomes the adroit Dokta Venom o the fold. Returning to his love of dirty twisted deep house, having grown up listening to Mr.Fingers, Frankie Knuckles and Moodyman, the Burnt Roses EP is drenched in the gritty soul influence of the Detroit & Chicago house movements. Only U opens up proceedings with a straight up house cut laden with slinky soul pad sweeps atop a deep pulsating sub bass line kept correct by the upfront kick which drives this beautifully arranged sensual vocal track. Burnt Roses builds through catchy orchestral strings drifting along a punchy break beat inspired rhythm, deep and luscious, scattered with deftly intricate arrangements morphing throughout this big beat stomper of a track. Rum Vapour’s house organ infused melodies are matched by ethereal vocal samples that, set to a swinging four the floor backbone and skippy high hats, impart a garage house vibe. In conclusion and wearing its influences proudly on the sleeve, Space Dust pays homage to the legendary Brazilian trio Azymuth with a killer slap bass and meandering rhodes chords set to a loose rhythm rich with shuffling congas, shakers and hand claps. Support from: Detroit Swindle, Laurent Garnier, Jimpster, Osunlade, Paul Mac, Rainer Truby, Anthony Nicholson etc
