Om Unit & Soreab - Pressure 3D (Baroque Sunburst) 12inch
Baroque Sunburst共同主宰者の一人でAccidental MeetingやAvianなどにも作品を残すSoreabと「Acid Dub Studies」シリーズが人気のOm UnitによるコラボレーションEP。 そこにAl Woottonも加わるので申し分ないのですが、今回一押ししたいのはBig Handsや高橋勇人(?!)らが参加したOttomani Parkerの緊張感が心地よいダブテクノ・ジャズなリワーク。PVCスリーブ、白ラベル、スタンプ仕様。
”Om Unit pairs with Baroque Sunburst co-capo Soreab for 'Pressure 3D', a four-track EP featuring two stellar flips from Al Wootton and Ottomani Parker. The duo, both known for traversing varying musical landscapes and bold approaches to electronic composition, meet in fruitful common ground, spinning percussive webs and crushing grooves ripe for reinterpretation. Opener "Last Breath" is relentlessly moody and hypnotic, reimagining a dancehall-centric groove with heaving sub-bass pulses, deep into the bass bins for a late-hour pelter. "Tunnel Drift" switches lanes with its distinct tech-stepping 90's throwback style, a forward-thinking take on a nostalgic sound. Al Wootton steps in to remix A1 into characteristically fresh and inventive dubbed-out house, adding his signature layering of atmospheric textures and a deep and groovy bassline. A2 is reworked by dub techno-jazz outfit Ottomani Parker (comprised of BSUN’s other co-honcho Big Hands, trumpeter Abraham Parker, sax maestra Izz Karpel and pianist Hayato Takahashi). After a blissful opening, their take sees horns, keys and live hand-drumming ride the driving percussion, an uplifting finale to an EP that packs a punch from start to finish.”
