Fundamental Movement EP out on Thinner

Leif - Fundamental Mvement EP
Check it out at www.thinner.cc

taking on where leif has left with his thinner debut release in october 2008, the "fundamental movement" ep is the continuation of his pumpy whacking minimal techhouse style, however this time much more suited for the needs of the digital djs. while the "benrhos dubs ep" was more of a laidback nature, this time leif starts kicking things off with the booty jacking "ocd wannabe", a shuffling groover for the skillful hip swingers on the floor. next on we have "political correctness gone mad", which is more powerful grinding in the bass area albeit gently accentuated with mildly whipping groovy elements. the third tune "warm shoulder" reduces the pace and coats the listener in warm glassy pads accompanied by a jazzy bassline. last but not least and to complete the trimsound excursion on thinner we have tom ellis, who applies his mixing skills on "political correctness gone mad" to arrange it inside a snare′ish offbeat framework with lots of subtle trippy synth modulations adding spice to his interpretation.

New Ep on Thinner Netlabel

Check it out at www.thinner.cc

the 102nd release of thinner features leif, an artist hailing from north wales. in between working in a corporate day job, partying hard, drinking a lot of coffee, and chopping wood to keep his house warm, leif runs uk based label trimsound with his close friends tom and joe ellis. next to numerous releases on his own label, leif has had releases on morris audio, moon harbour, frankie, telegraph, logistic, textone, archipel and floppy funk. he also djs and performs live with tom ellis as "trimsound live", bringing together live waves of sound using hardware sequencers, laptop and live bass guitar. we're very proud to welcome this multitasking talent, who introduces himself to the thinner people with the "benrhos dubs" ep, a cycle of three techhouse tracks, both pumping yet full of smooth dubs at the same time. additionally the ep features a remix by thinner native t-polar, who has an album upcoming.

starting with the moody "long way round" leif offers a moody pumping techhouse track with smooth dubs, perfect to utilize in a progressing dj set. "new growth" is more of a laidback nature and suprises with an airy flute. the claps are emitted in wide hall rooms and percussive elements dribble on a carpet of gentle moody pads. the third piece "the tempo of my indicator" goes into a different direction, here the dry and quirky side of leif is on his best behaviour, when he assembles sets of functional patterns by glueing frazzles of organs, vocals with a playful percussive potpourri. the cherry on the cake is the remix by t-polar, who is grinding the original track in towards dark and humid canals, putting a massively saturated bassline, a yummy teaser for his next thinner longplay. altogether, a box of diverse tracks, energetic and functional to spice up the night.
