After releases on Distinkkt, Blue Park, Woob.le Recordings and a stream of free downloads and self
releases Ali Whitticase joins us with an ear catching approach to stripped back house music. The
Birmingham based artist has carved a distinctive sound pairing influences from Europe’s minimalist
expressions along with bold basslines heard shaking Midlands dance floors.
Detective Sandy kicks off the EP with crisp percussion, and a signature Whitticase low end. Elements
trail off into endless directions, subtly teasing a hypnotic listen with a multitude of quirky sounds held
together by a seriously grooving bassline.
Birmingham’s Jordan Masters joins that side with a stripped back remix of the title track, nimble hi-hats,
shimmering percussive work and flavours of minimal garage can be heard throughout, a bouncing
bassline delivers a rapid groove for a great balance between ear engrosser and dance floor mover.
Jos of EYA/Lonewolf records delivers his twist on Detective Sandy for B1, a 90s inspired synth reigns
through the entire composition, sultry vocals, a darker rolling bassline and sharp percussive elements
all build into a suspenseful break, where the listener is dropped back into the hypnotic twists and
commanding low end. Premiered on Halycon Wax 08/10/2020
Saucy Thoughts rounds this EP off a Warm and familiar atmosphere is paired with sublime skipping hi
hats which draw the ear. While Saucy Thoughts is more chilled affair it still hits in all the right places,
another bold bassline builds throughout the track with deep accents providing a bouncing groove
before the track splits boldly back into the floating atmosphere. This one would hold a great place in a
tasteful warmup set or early in the after hours.
