From the southern wilds of Oregon comes R Side Recordings, a house music label representing hard working blue collar beats and DJs. R Side's second release is a split single featuring Jacob Poe (Radda Records) and DJ Samuel Lawrence (Uniting Souls, WeJack) each dropping a floor-ready original and remixing each other's track. Jacob Poe starts things off with "Whisper Softly," a deep cut with tech-subtlety. Cut-up vocals, swirling pads, and tight rhythms combine into a smooth late night treat. DJ Samuel Lawrence then remixes "Whisper Softly," raising the tempo and adding a pinch of techno. Bubbling arpeggiations and percussive effects build out the flow. Flip the virtual wax for DJ Samuel Lawrence's "Late Nite Aoili," a dubby, drum-driven adventure for the dance floor complete with rousing sub-bass, spicy vocal drops, and a dramatic mid-section breakdown. Then it's Jacob Poe's turn on the remix, bending "Late Night Aoili" into a hypnotic afterhours groover. A huge grimy bass line fills the sonic palette, rounded out with soulful vocal hits, expressive stabs and pad swells, and a crisp rhythm track. Massive.
