ABOUT THIS ITEM

Redinho’s musical palette morphs and fractures with every new production. Born and raised on funk, Redinho is as much a product of the 80s as he is the current dance music climate. He makes music with unabashed passion, whether he’s micro organising his shuffling hi-hats or zoning out on his talkbox. With a rare and present talent the EP tackles many styles, with Redinho always pressing his own unique fingerprint on all of them. Opener, the eponymous "Edge Off", ripples with funk, eschewing some of Timbaland’s most respected productions before he flips it; singing in a typically open and honest British tone. Reportedly built on a riff that dates back to 2007, it’s the surrounding electronics that make it sound so incredibly current, cushioning the lyrics and propelling the simplistic boom bap drum structure. "Slap" is Redinho’s take on juke; frenetically quick, propelled by the chopped and screwed slap bass that’s edited perfectly. "Power Look" settles on an engagingly simplistic UKF rhythm, but is peppered with the kind of synthesizers that gave Mr Majeeka’s "Different Lektrix" the bandied legs of recognition that it’s still got now. “Whips" closes with brutally powerful bass-led, borderline alien, industrial funk. This is gonna blow the bottom right out of all but the heaviest rigs. One of the most unique producers in the field right now, do not sleep!
