One of Detroit's finest talents is legendary house and techno pioneer Gari Romalis, who, as we enter what could potentially be a summer of love, delivers an outstanding four-track EP, "Black Traxx Matter", spreading a message that goes far beyond the surface, using music as a sharing tool. The body of work ranges through the distinctive and winding energy of deep house, exuding class and emotion, in particular what we have all come to love and adore in Romalis' catalog. Music from the soul, for the soul, coming soon on the Italian label Nicepeople.
The opening track "Black 2 Da Future" rides a laid-back and cool groove, brushing up against the summer breeze, paying homage to brighter days. The next track is "Black Diamondz (Africa Mix)" consisting of a tight and incisive drum arrangement and a warm and infectious sub-bass. It welcomes you with open arms.
"Black Luv" is lighter than the previous tracks, with a decidedly housey pace, all the elements dialoguing in sweet harmony. A cruise down memory lane. "Purpose Reprise (Motivate Mix)" closes this wonderful EP, six and a half minutes of pure bliss that turn into a pure and powerful moment when a spoken word sample enters the room, while the soft keys make their way around the message.
A masterpiece from one of the industry's most esteemed artists. The Nicepeople label continues to promote high-quality sounds from emerging and established artists, with a busy schedule already planned for 2021. [distribution info sheet]
