Jas - The Static-State Opera EP

  • Share
  • Jas aka Chonga, has had considerable success with releases gracing labels such as Saw Recordings and Sumsonic/Mechanism. Now he gets the chance to release under Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi and boy, has he been working hard. Soul Doing Dishes Is a quirky and dubby affair with lots of echoing effects, vibrating guitar pluckiness and engaging percussion. Listening is the essence here as there is a lot on offer for deeper house fans that don’t mind a bit of dub. The variations of sounds flowing through this track keep you guessing as Jas’ originality shines. Soul Doing Dishes (Luke Fair mix) Mr Luke Fair get his hands on Soul Doing Dishes and provides a refreshing uptake of the original. The bass has more of an edge but is smoothed over by well-constructed chords played through a variety of light organ sounds. Assisting the melody is the rasping and grinding of percussive elements while the breakdown brings in the smooth dubby baseline. Altogether is an outstanding mix. Silver Man Tango Is anything but bright. Shutting the doors and pulling the blinds as this track clouds your mind with emotional, sullen synths accompanied by chilling vocals in this progressive wonder. Silver Man Tango (Envy's galactic lunatic mix) Envy’s skills in the remix department really shine through here with a quality driving mix that leads on directly from the original. It’s gets tougher with tormenting melodies and a more prominent vocal throughout. "Making me loose my mind" is the name of the game here as the vocal states. Quality.
