Style: minimal tech
To say that we have a very special release for you lovers of free culture out there would be a towering understatement. This month we’re delighted to showcase the Gutter Lust Ep.
This long overdue follow-up is a moody and vivid EP from StirSound landlord and proprietor Jon Doe showcasing his most guilty pleasures. Bringing up the rear on this one are the label heads of two of our favorite netlabels, Carlo from Neovinyl and D.Soul of Tropic.
As the title track implies, Gutter Lust is composed of shadowy melodies fused with seedy and opaque undertones. In short, its comparable to finding yourself astray in a dimly lit and deserted sector of town on a murky fall night. A bouncy 808 pushes thru sultry pad textures while floaty hi hats shiver opposite a penetrating sub bass.
Carlo’s Remix keeps noticeably true to the textures of the original while adding a polished touch of flange and a more locked down feel via transitory snares and persistent hi hat placements. Contrasting with the mysterious vibes of Gutter Lust is the jubilantly charming Dimmi Tutto. Its prominent feature is a tech-house style chord that sits snugly atop a perpetually heaving bass stab.
D.Soul’s Remix takes the original and gives it a twist of delay and adds a very danceable and magnetic feel to round out a mesmerizing and well framed Ep from Stir’s visionary-in-cheif.
