A Sol Mechanic - Just Pick Me Up EP (2014)




/RnB, Soul, Urban music, Cinematic, Sampledelic, Mood music, Chill out/

Comment: A Sol Mechanic is a producer from Los Angeles, California, USA who issued his 5-track issue on New York-based imprint Stereocure. Actually it is highly symbolic to build bridge between the two biggest cities in the USA because the artist`s album is thoroughly urban, modern and related to urbanity. More concretely, the album is a representative of the so-called modern rhythm and blues and soul music. It does mean it runs on a shitloads of samples and the knacks represented on it are the workout of intense production. The mood touch is truly relaxing due to low-slung paces, wonky LFO filtered piano taps, cinematic vibes and slightly drunk-pitched vocal deliveries. At times those soothing yet hazy bass lines remind of more subdued moments from Air`s classical album Moon Safari (particularly in the beginning at Feels Like Us). However, this release`s essentiality couldn`t be brought forth without the influence of Flying Lotus´ importance on the aforementioned genres (you can distinctly hear sampledelic and chunky lo-fi approach in creating the sequence of rhythms). As the artist sings /just take your time, just take your time for me/crosslife for me/. Just pick it up!

Kuh Lida – Ball It Out Back It Up (2013)




/Hip-hop, Breakcore, Sampledelic, Experimental-hop, House pop, Electro-pop, Electro-hop, Breaks, Mood music/

Comment: the only shortage related to this 6-track issue is its shortness. Musically the Chicagoan Myles Emmons` issue is fabulous blend of experimental hip-hop sounds, sampledelic craftsmanship and sunshiny samples. The artist gets obviously inspiration from different places and eras harking back to Parliament/Funkadelic-alike effortless progressions regarding the groove and on the other side paying attention to Flying Lotus ability to create microscopic but otherworldly catchy sonic models, and of course the issue includes some Detroit electro and Chicago house influences and even neurotic Death Grips-alike hip-hop spasms throughout. It is similar to another American producer Christian Montoya aka Miami Slice`s latest issue Brooklyn 2 Brooklyn relative to his highly dance-appealed and cheerful pop blended progressions. All in all, in the first place it is a soundtrack for the listener who has been devoid of a strike of serotonin for a while. It is an efficacious cure indeed.
