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!
