Cork-based Shane Linehan has risen to prominence with vinyl buyers in the past few years via his vinyl-only Basic Grooves label, a label which has seen the DJ/Producer release mostly (but not exclusively) his own ‘authentic house’ material which has won vocal support from Jus Ed, Norm Talley, Kerri Chandler, Dj Deep, Mosca and more. Having played for WetYourSelf!’s eponymous night at Fabric, Linehan now delivers his first EP for the WYS! label and it features three track of no-nonsense house music. ‘Aspects of Change’ unveils a tougher, more techno inclined side of Shane Linehan and the results are impressive. ‘Relentless’ opens ‘Aspects of Change’ with purpose. One of the toughest Linehan tracks to date, the drums here dominate the track which is, due to just a bass stab and effected vocal hit, as simple but as effective as they come. ‘So Much For That’ sees Linehan deliver tight, swinging vibes evoking classic Relief output while sounding decidedly contemporary while closing track ‘Wanting What We Have’ exercises some rich detuned Juno 6 bass work alongside rousing, phased pads.

Cork based producer and DJ Shane Linehan has cut quite the impressive swathe in the first few months of 2012, anointing his own Basic Groove imprint in fine style with the swiftly sold out 12" My Initial Grooves as well as gracing Mad Mats Local Talk label with a stellar vinyl drop. Linehan returns to the controls for the second Basic Groove release with more of the same - namely deep, tracky productions notable for a crispness in percussion and rawness in texture. Lead track "Get Together" is a swaggering example of Linehan's style, with a groove formed of low set bass stabs and playful neon chords. It's complemented by the deeper sounds of "The Future" with the opening shards of dubby chords soon aided and abetted by snapping rimshot percussion, thick bass clouds and the whispered titular vocal.
