Omar S/Kai Alce - Jive Time: Unreleased Beats [Ndalt Muzik]

A - Jive Time(bonus beats)

B - Incognigro(bonus beats)


It says something about the production qualities of Omar S that he can make a stripped-back drum track sound like an essential purchase. This limited 7" offers two deliciously simple but bombastically effective drum tracks that should appeal to those who like to pepper their mixes with cute percussive interludes. Both tracks are stripped-down, 808-heavy grooves based on a pair of collaborations with Kai Alce that first appeared on the Jive Time 12" in December 2010. The percussion is of course spot on, with plenty of repetitive claps, 808 cowbells and, on flipside "Incognigro (Bonus Beats)", the most subtle of deep house chords. Excellent.

"Essential Deep House session from Kai Alcé's NDATL label, offering three of his own raw and tracky grooves backed with exclusive productions by Theo Parrish and Larry Heard! In such esteemed company Kai makes a heavy impression with the mesmerizing jack of 'Lost', the killer, Funky-compatible snares of 'Simply '93' and the fruitier jazz-House of 'Thoughts... sunny day'. On 'Voices In The Dark' Theo Parrish is in hypnotic form, rubbing and pinching his loops into bumpy, elliptical arrangements with psychoactivating potential, while Loosefingers aka Larry Heard drops a frisky acid House bomb on 'Indigenous'."
