Soul People Music US 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Fred P's Soul People Music returns with a full length from the artist formerly known as Kapser and Esperanza main man Jose Cabrera. Last seen on Peterkin's newly inaugurated Boards imprint, the Madrid native presents us with some killer techno tracks on here. "Endorphinas" sounds like a restrained take on the Jeroen Search & Dimi Angelis sound, and sounds great! "Human Behaviour" is brooding moody techno at its finest. On the other side "Nebula 584 (feat. Dario Zenker)" is the kind of steely cyclical techno you would expect from such a collaboration while "Hyperion" is more on the Robert Hood tip with its entrancing stabs that repeat on and entrance you with, you guessed it; claps on the kick; and it's rather infectious!

Review: Commencing a new series for Fred P's Soul People imprint, Jose Cabrera and Fred himself deliver four tracks of uncharacteristically tough rhythms that suggest an exploration of more driving, DJ-focused cuts compared to the luscious soulful tones normally found on the label. Cabrera takes up the A side, kicking off with the hefty throwdown of "General Relativity", all thunderous kick, snagging hat and desolate bleep over a fearsome high-pitched tone. "Framework" is housier in its demeanour, but still packs a mean punch as it twists out a chunky chord line. Fred P's "Quantum Effects" on the flip is a perfectly scattered techno excursion, both minimal and engaging at the same time. "String Theory" is more twitchy with its dextrous layers of percussion and discordant notes claging around in the distance, a far cry from the soothing lullabies he can often be found crafting.
