Dan Berkson, James What, Robert Owens, - Reflections
2
Dan Berkson, James What, - Onika
True underground artists from London's thriving music community, Dan Berkson & James What are more than capable of working a groove! Already well known on the scene for their precise deep tech-house sound and unique live shows, they deliver another first class EP here on Poker Flat. 'Reflections' is a typically nonchalant display of the young pair's talents; tight percussive layers build to reveal a classic groove. As if to cement the track's foundations in House, legendary vocalist and figurehead for the genre Robert Owens provides a gritty monologue that comes straight from the heart, reminding us all to 'Keep it Real!' Just as soon as Owens' stirring tones disappear, a pulsing bassline infuses the blend with a splash of Acid. Instantly creating a memorable moment, this fantastic meeting of minds will work in so many different situations! The slightly darker subtleties of 'Onika' are released in mesmeric phases which again confirm the pair's arrangement skills. Rich percussive gestures dance around another air tight groove and a ignature riff that deftly balances between funk and paranoia. An ideal tool to deploy when its time to take the party up few notches, or indeed hold it there, teetering on the edge! This is solid, dynamic House Music, clearly designed for the dancefloor, but its lovingly crafted spatial qualities and careful crescendos are the marks of two very devoted musicians.

Dan Berkson, James What, - Last Train
Dan Berkson & James What already received loads of respect, plays and big ups for their Poker Flat debut 12“ „The Dig“ (pfr70) in spring earlier this year. They played some bodacious sets at this year’s Sonár Festival in Barcelona and now, here they go again! On their new 3 tracker „Cantina“ on Poker Flat, Dan & James continue searching for unusual sounds while keeping a musical and organic vibe. While each track explores fresh sonic territory, they also focus on the dance.oor...The A side Cantina, is named after the intergalactic tavern where everyone‘s favourite space heroes meet for the .rst time. On B1 Dan & James return to their roots as circus performers, while the “Last Train” is a tripped out nocturnal adventure into deeper house sounds on B2....

Dan Berkson, James What, - Zig zag
Dan Berkson & James What are a newly formed London based production and live performance duo. Both Dan and James have been playing music, producing, and DJing in their own separate projects up to now, but have recently teamed up in an attempt to create their own blend of electronic house music. Dan has been releasing records on many labels including Mood Music, Movim, Exun, and Gourmet Recordings and djing in the US and Europe. James What has German. Scottish and Guatemalian roots and was brought up in in southern France - He moved to London in 1999 to study music and sound engineering and made his first appearances with productions on Treibstoff and Einmalein’s Musik. They are now putting together a unique live PA featuring their own tracks mixed and reworked on laptops along with live synths.„The Dig“ is their debut relase on Poker Flat, on which they wanted to achieve an organic sounding record, using analogue synthesizers and noises blended with percussive sounds they recorded in the studio with various objects and vocals. Tweaked monosynth lines and rich polyphonic pads are featured on most tracks, and single note patterns of various timbre often reinforce the grooves. The title track on the A-side is as simple as effective and the name relates to some of the percussion parts which reminded them of a rodent digging a hole in the ground. First on the B-side is „If I Was A Man“, a slow-down groover with a dark and funky atmosphere, inspired by Barbara Alcindor‘s abstract spoken words, becomes more and more twisted towards the end of the track. Last but not least, „Zig Zag“, which is named after the wobbly monosynth phrase which is being tweaked throughout the tune. All tracks speak of sweet, riding rhythms and nights full of action. Pure quality.
