// Clever Music 004 - DNCN - "K-Holes & Middle
Management EP"
http://www.clevermusic.net
Happy new-year to all and sundry! We have finally
arisen from our deep space, winter stasis, carbon
freezer units to the arousing crystalline house
inflections of Manchester's own DNCN. The first
UK artist to feature on Clever Music v2, you may
recognise DNCN on sojourn from his oft-lauded
Hippocamp releases. Sitting somewhere between the
blissed-out melancholy of Charles Webster's
deepest house and Akufen's skipping,
glitch-fusion funk, this EP has it all, rather
like a date with your favourite Clever Music DJ.
And it's a 7-tracker - blimey!
Opening with sensual moody pads, turn the lights
down low and relax to grooving bass and bugging
drums; 'Attempt Two' sets the deeply funky tone
which permeates this hunk of an EP. 'Caravanning'
takes the listener over to the couch, pours a
glass of wine and whispers sweet drum loops and
sparse, dubbed out vocals into their ear before
'Dont Pass Go' almost imperceptibly moves its
hands behind the listener's shoulders, into a
maddening embrace, bridging the transition from
chill-out to dance-floor house with understated
hip wiggling keys.
'How to Know' unhooks the bra while
simultaneously laying down a subtle minimal
groove with organic beats, trippy fx and an old
school sample in the vein of Moody Man. Dextrous.
Having warmed the bed, 'Stillfukinggotit'
swaggers into the bedroom wearing only its silk
pyjamas. Reeking of infectious confidence, this
track skips like a Tod Edwards joint and funks
like Akufen on some strong shit. Ouch. Play loud
for full effect kids.
Club funk with a deeper-than-deep edge, 'Third
Hand of Man' works its magic with a long, sensual
grind, bringing the listener to a joyous climax
and making a delectable mess of your newest
sheets. Pausing only momentarily, 'Immaterial'
throws the listener onto the floor for a second
round of blissful, back-scratching house
business, which leaves crimson carpet burns on
the knees and a sublime aftertaste.
Good night all. Cigarette? Pillow talk?
Anyone...?
