Paying homage to the hypnotic groove….
After a brief hiatus, Fresh Meat Records is back. The Feel Factory EP is by new breed Chicago producers Max Jacobson and Dave Powers. Max has been DJ’ing around town at some of our favorite spots and organizes undergrounds and private afterhours. David, a professional musician and music instructor also DJs, throws parties and performs live with his jazz trio. Max and David’s songs are out on Akbal Music, Klectik, and Fade, and they have forthcoming releases on Tanzbar Musik / Workbench and Snubb Records. The Feel Factory EP's title track is slow-burning and earthy with great changes. “Don’t Let It" combines Powers’ jazz licks with an elegant classic U.S. house groove. The last two tracks get more psychedelic. For their first remix in years, Nathan Drew Larsen and Mazi work the machines over “Don’t Let It,” adding tape echoes, MPC programming, a string machine and other vintage synths. The EP ends with “Dos”, a tracky cut with a low vibe and warehouse rhythms. We think this is future house that knows its history.
