Andrés – Mighty Tribe

Review: Just in time for summer, Andr aka DJ Dez hits back with three perfect house cuts. The Andr formula is fairly simple, grab a sample, flip it, add warm basslines and drums. Thing is, nobody does it quite like Dez. The title track here is a soulful rave-up spinning on an indelible vocal chop and vamping pianos. Chevy Status is true to its name, a chugging mid-tempo hip-hop/house tune perfect for rolling down Woodward Avenue, or if you like, a street in your town. Pluck Away, meanwhile, takes some jangling, Tropicalia guitars and lets them ride into the sunset, closing out a near perfect record which only builds anticipation for the Detroit mans fourth full-length, Andres IV.
