About this item

One of the hottest tracks on Star Creature in recent times. "Jack Shit" came out earlier in the year and garnered support from everyone including Moodymann, Luke Solomon and Mark Grusane, with its early Windy City proto-house vibes that recalled the glory days of Trax or DJ International. The 7" sold out record quick and has become a highly sought after nugget, so Star Creature have reissued the track (extended, no less, for the 12" format) and added three more joints from the producer's catalogue. 

"The Breeze Of Your Shirt" showcases the deep house side of the producer nicely (much like "Hot Sweaty Nights", the B-side of the original 7" did), with a nice array of musical elements and semi-organic instrumentation bolstered nicely through some gentle distortion, subtle flurries of acid and other DSP artefacts. 

"Smacking Your Head" returns to the primitive proto-house vibe; just a straight up drum machine rhythm, synth bassline and basic vocal sample trigger. "DX Days" keeps the same work ethic but utilizes the magic of, I presume, the DX7 to conjure up its synth patches

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Arsene returns to Star Creature after woo'ing the world with "Jack Shit" earlier in the year. Gifted the 12" format, the producer includes an extension of said track alongside three more joints from his studio. With Moodymann and Mark Grusane already championing his talents, this is one cat to keep an eye on.
