CUT CHEMIST - Adidas To Addis EP - Crazy World beat Party Gem by Cut Chemist.
VINYL FORMAT.
Channelling equal parts sub-Saharan chants, "Trans Europe Express", a love for nasty snare rolls, and a crossfader / delay pedal match-up that?s unrivaled for sheer creativity, Cut Chemist drops a pair of beefed-up club-friendly versions of tracks featured on his recent "Sound Of The Police" mix LP/CD. The A-side begins as a near-hypnotic Ethiopian-sampling epic story as told by a chorus of female voices, punctuated with optimum intermittent cuts and stabs at an evolving pace, emerging on the other end as some sort of post-cut-and-paste stream of consciousness "speaks with his hands" composition... engaging and well-executed, perhaps intuitively, embracing the spirit of the African rhythms while adding to them with his "drums" (aka delay pedal) and turntable. B-side is an Afro-Brazilian piano-driven hybrid that recalls Earth Wind & Fire while keeping the Batuque bounce rolling with female vocals again providing the juice. Both sides include bonus beats and instros.
