The third EP from LAAK on Austere is very much in the same vein as the labels’ ethos – raw, profound underground house music! The opening track “The Fourth Space” kicks things off with a Larry Heard-esque bassline, along with delicate synth lines, industrial sounding chords with trademark warm pads. The second track “Digital Age” has funk written all over it. With a militant voiceover, shuffling beats and spacey keys this is sure to get you moving. Opening the second side is “Lose Control” a developed song with constrained vocals and lots of substance. The final track on the EP “Hurt Me So” is strictly for the deep heads! Floating pads, and low sub bassline are the order of the day here! With the past releases on Austere getting props from players such as Jus Ed, Keith Worthy, Steven Tang, Anton Zap, Malcolm Moore (Altered Moods), Deep Space Orchestra, Homepark, PJOTR (Ethereal Sound) , Area/M50 (Wave) and DJ Spider, this EP will not disappoint the heads so don’t sleep on this!
