Safeword is an exciting new act comprising of 2 dedicated US-based producers, Clint Stewart and Marc Smith. Their low slung, warm and sexy sound already gave way to one EP on Paso music and now we find them really hitting their stride with their debut for Dessous. Lead track ‘You Can You Will’ introduces us to Safeword’s world, a sleazy, percussive and intricate gel of textures, flavours and audio fetishes. Punchy, bright production characterises this modern house jam. The eventual arrival of a deep and spritual melody is surprising and instantly turns the snaking drum tool of the introductory minutes into an anthemic, autumnal beauty. Leading Dessous and Poker Flat man Phonique turns his hand to the title track with a cheeky, energetic remix. Aimed at the floor we find a more uptempo groove at the heart of his mesmerising tech-house re-work. The soft bell tones floating throughout ‘Tangent’ are perfectly melancholic, while tough driving beats urge us forward, making the perfect partnership bewteen cinematic sound design and bass-heavy floor dynamics.
