DJ Pipe – Deeply Floored EP

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed debut, The ‘Clubber’s Paradise’ EP for Ghost Recs, DJ Pipe launches his own Global North imprint with another varied and dynamic four-tracker for your turntable. “Sunrise Fiction” sets the tone for the EP, with Pipe employing his signature sound-palette of tumbling congas, chunky sub bass and FM synth chimes. A2’s “Fragile Transit” may be familiar to listeners of a certain recent Truly Madly mix - house organs and filtered sax ascend into orbit before being washed away by blissed-out stabs. Properly versatile gear for the warm-up, main slot or crack-on. Over on the flip, “Gallery Showcase” takes things darker via maximum bass-weight, whispered vocal snatches and abundance of swing, while “Touchstone (Alright)” rounds out the EP in atmospheric fashion with shimmering strings, echoed finger-snaps and its cascading main riff: a late-night odyssey into the deepest realms of house.
