Description
Nenor returns to Fossils after some big releases on the mighty fine likes of Moodymann’s Mahogani, Defected and Strictly Rhythm. And another fine 12″ it is too, crafted from his array of vintage samplers, odd bits of music-making gear, a coveted synth collection and a mix of samples and live instrumentation. There is a mix of dusty house drums and soulful sampling to the raw opener ’17 Daze’ which is a cool rework of the Prince classic.
‘It’s A Deep Tune’ is just that with its distant bird class, jungle toms and warped bass and ‘Tough Decision’ brings an epic soul sample over more stripped back but compelling house drums. ‘Just The Way’ closes with an r&b vocal or minimal yet warm drums.
The variety on this EP makes it all the more standout but it’s that version of 17 Days that first roused my ears.
