Lounging [2LP]

Deadbeats - Lounging [2LP]

Genre: Deep House, Downtempo, Trip Hop.

Released in Nottingham at the turn of the millennium, when the city was at the heart of an exciting underground scene, “Lounging” sits between trip-hop's slowed breaks and deep house's low-end drive. Drum programming is loose but controlled, with swung rhythms underpinning warm basslines and restrained chord patterns. Tracks alternate between vocal cuts featuring Gea Russell and Isi Samuel, and instrumental pieces built on short, sampled phrases and repeating hooks. It's a perfect record for either pre-club or post-rave, especially on warmer days, and this anniversary edition has been remastered by Shawn Joseph. A welcome return for a low key classic. A1.
