B1 - Levels

B2 - What Up With The Love


Fred P is the mind behind Black Jazz Consortium. Recording for a wide range of labels - most notably Jus-Ed's Underground Quality - Fred has gained a following of true deep house lovers worldwide. Gauzy vintage keys, poetic spoken words and soft drum patterns are what define Black jazz Consortium's classicist take on ocean deep house. The Structure EP contains four different yet equally mesmerizing tracks, the starting block of "Truth In High Places" riddled with healthy kicks and tribal drums. The meandering keys, shafts of light and soft vocals are quite bewitching, and their combination results in a hypnotic and analogue track - very much Black Jazz Consortiums staple. "Far Away" holds a punchier groove with uptempo drums and repetitive vox - it's the ascending warm synth grooves layered with delicate piano keys that make it just irresistible. "Levels" and "What Up With The Love" on the B-Side are both finely executed pieces; the former with its piercing and swaying pads mixed with balmy keys and the latter with its more dance orientated groove augmented by crisp hats.
