B From E ‎- PORNO TR-XXX

  • Share
  • Emotional rollers have been there since the early days of house music. Straightforward and loopy, they usually comprise snappy drums, a pumping bassline, pads, a sprinkling of ethereal effects and not much else. OCH's "Last Chance Saloon," released on Trelik in 2011, was a rare recent example of this style—they were more common during tech house's golden era in the late '90s and early '00s (Soul Capsule made a lot of them). B From E, a new signing to the Copenhagen Underground Posse label, also has a knack for stirring grooves. Don't be fooled by the goofy title of the newcomer's first release, PORNO TR-XXX, because it doesn't match the music. At around 130 BPM, the EP's four tracks are faster than most modern house, with twinkling synths and the occasional pad adding a dream-like aura to otherwise tough beats. "Porno" and "Peter Pan," both on the A-side, are the cheeriest tunes, with plenty of melody, loud hi-hats and rhythmic basslines. They keep a constant energy level from start to finish, so you'll need to nail the transitions in and out to get their full potential. The more atmospheric B-side leans towards classic house. Its two tracks could come in handy during a party's final hours, but they lack the A-side's techy punch. The flute-style lead of the Kerri Chandler-sounding "Lets Play" might be too much for some dancers.
