Everybody in the club… getting tipsy? It’s hard not to feel a little unsteady listening to these late night sweat-drenched jams from Oakland producer Bastiengoat. While his last release SIDESHOW was all in on hyphy-tinged jungle, HARMONY branches out a bit, exploring big booming rave sounds (“everybody in the club”), spooky minimal UK garage (“slippery when wet”), and speedy techno (“need you” – the only track here that goes beyond the 135-145 BPM mark). Highlight: the brain-melting Missy Elliot flip on “double take” that materializes, vaporizes, and stretches out for a full seven minutes. Breaks, breaks, breaks. Amen.
