Veteran deep house DJ/producer Andrew Macari returns for his second full EP on Viva Recordings, the Hidden Textures EP. Andrew’s discography is wide, recording for classic imprints like Large Music, Afterhours, Greenhouse, and Nordic Trax. He has also recorded cuts as part of Toka Project, Filter Flow, and Guided Methods, and presently releases jackin' tracks under the alias Greenbay Jackers.
“Some Like Change” opens the EP with a tough kick drum rhythm that softens with the addition of chiming chords and crisp snares. An affecting and effected vocal phrase, rolling bass line, and deep background pads further a dreamy atmosphere. A classic house music bass sound and faraway melodies feature in “U Want Deep,” as cryptic voices and swishing textures float about the stereo field. “My Soul Brothers” has a grittier intro, enhanced by a potent bass line, cool spoken vocal flourishes, and rhythmic staccato keys. It’s spacey, but it’s also a roller. Great vibes all around from Andrew Macari on the Hidden Textures EP … don’t miss out.
