NACHTBRAKER Vinilo y CD

Review: Dutch enfant terrible Maurits Verwoerd aka Nachtbraker returns to his eponymous imprint with more cheeky deep house experiments, following up some great ones on Aus Music and Quartet Series. The Bay Be Blu EP sure keeps up the quality: from the neon-lit ocean drive of the title track with its emotive synths against a backdrop of UK style breakbeats, to 'Warmer' where the tough rhythms continue. On this one, you'll hear his personal field recordings on the beaches of Barcelona, complete with jungle style sub-bass, yet all the while remaining defiantly deep house. On the flip, he nails the afterhours sound perfectly on the rolling and hypnotic 'Tangelo Dreams' followed by the UK pirate radio vibe of 'Drip' and its two-step influence.
