Fresh from steering us to the dancefloor with his ’Nightdriver’ EP on Robsoul – and a remarkable showcase on
Djebali earlier this month – Leiden craftsman Chris Stussy returns to Phil Weeks’ pedigree house imprint with
four more prime cuts of uncut house gold.
“Boogie Trippin” sums up the experience consummately as hip-flared jacks are wrapped with shimmering
touches and subtle filtered chords sweeps back and forth in the background. It’s backed up by three more
groove delights; “Flow Distinction” is shuffled and introspective but warm, gradually uplifting and laced with a
smoky alluring vocal, “Next To You” is a mid-evening slinky-piece with shiny percussive elements slithering over
the low-passed groove that gently opens out into a divine breakdown while “Selfless State” is a down home
peaktimer that flickers between lean jacks and a blazed disco break. Watch out of that swooping soul vocal as
it croons in overhead… Powerful stuff.
A firm face on the Robsoul roster now, Stussy’s getting hotter with every record. Don’t sleep.
