About this item

Hidden Spheres is a Rhythm Section mainstay for a reason: having released 3 EPs on the label, he has developed his sound and fully emerged into a flow state. His residency at Public Records has enabled him to mould an EP perfect for any dancefloor, perfecting a Detroit indebted house style with influences from early Kerri Chandler and Ron Trent perfect for those heads down, hands-up moments.

Delivering 5 tracks that master dancefloor tension, it's difficult to pick a stand out. “Come On, Yeh” harks back to the New Jersey House sound with dubby organ chord stabs and punchy 909 drums and a sublime bongo loop. “Don’t You Wanna” welcomes the house dancers, with a low-slung, heavily swung groove, resampled pads, and a deep spoken refrain that gives the track its title. Kicking off the B-side “Get Down” hits the subs, with unmistakably phat bass, moody strings and broad use of the iconic M1 organ bass patch “Organ2”. Followed by “I Feel Good” brings police sirens, 808s and swirling pads, to a glorious Deep House tune with a top chime motif that keeps the party moving. The final track of the B side, “You Don’t Know”, takes things down a notch, but maintaining the sublime tension with classic house piano chords and another wicked percussive loop.

For fans of: Kerri Chandler, Mall Grab, Kolter, Session Victim, Gaultier Lustwerk

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Manchester's Hidden Spheres returns with a catchy house EP indebted to that classic US style. You can tell he's been digging that NY / NJ sound - with highly swung beats and tons of M1 organ decorating much of this EP. Very nice.
