Following a sequence of brand new joiners to the label in 2012, boe presents one of the UK’s rising stars on the underground house music scene in Meschi. Having had previous successes on great labels such as Lunar Disko and the ever impressive Swiss imprint, Meschi is also famed for his live analogue jam sets full of action and improvisation. The opening track Walker is a modern industrial piece, drenched in cavernous reverb and cushioned by rich bass frequencies. It’s sonically rich and elegant, introduced with shuffling delayed toms, syncopated baseline and off beat kick. It isn’t long before signature 707 hats drop in to the mix and a warm pad envelops the harmony. At the breakdown the tension increases with a fiery moog arpeggiator sweeping its way in and out to create a massive crescendo. Meschi finishes things off whilst taking the mood in a different direction; a tip toeing piano riff tinkles its way into the mix where the arpeg leaves off to soften things into a glittering finale. Walker is a track fit for the biggest systems and testing those aural boundaries. Long Days is a pumping Chicago techno cut with a smooth but punchy 808 kick and gritty fuzzy bass filling up that lower spectrum. Snappy hi hats and claps, melodic pads and strings fill up those emotive sequences taking the listener back to late 80s Chicago and loving every second. The Ghost (vinyl only) is a quality DJ cut in the Chicago vibe with a bouncing square bass and tight 707 percussion. It’s a peak time stormer for lovers of that classic sound bridging the soul of house and the energy of early techno.
