Brennan Green - My First House


Label / The Wurst Music CoReviews powered by Juno
Cat # / WET 1007
Released / July 2009
Style / House
Rating / rating: 3.5 / 5

I was told the other night that Brennan Green has dual citizenship and I'd like to think that it applies to his musical productions as well. His profile was raised by mingling with the disco-loving likes of Danny Wang (even releasing tracks on Wang's Balihu imprint), Studio (splitting a side on Green's own Chinatown label), Mudd (remixes for Claremont) and Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas, but Green freely traverses into deep house as well.

As the disco field grows over-populated, it makes sense for Green to swing back the other way. So it's especially fitting that he drops "My First House" on the recently re-launched Wurst label. No longer releasing obscure disco edit fare by the likes of Eamon Harkin and labelhead My Cousin Roy, Wurst now focuses on new original productions, the irony being that Green started working on this track back in '97, making "My First House" precisely that.

Built around a conga pattern and misty, ever-widening synth swirl, this a-historical and dark track drives relentlessly to a feverish pitch. Out of such turbidity, a dubbed-out dialogue emerges between the four-four's cracks. Whereas most snippets of the human voice on such house fare implore body-moving and/or letting yourself go, this one is oddly inane. Who knows what it'll do to the floor of said house?

Wed, 11 Nov 2009On the flip Brennan reworks the classic Mood II Swing track 'Do It Your Way' in his own super smooth and sensuous style, apparently from the original samples that Mood II Swing used themselves.

I LOVE THIS RECORD! 5/5

Wed, 29 Jul 2009Preefeld: track 2 sounds exactly like mood to swing's 'do it your way'...

It might as well be a remix. Same vocal, similar vibe. I call shenanigans if he doesn't give them some credit.

edit: sorry, I should have properly quoted you, Preefeld, but now it seems I can't go back and do it right.
