JVXTA レコード& CD

Review: Since 2017 Charles Field has been building up a strong presence in the club world running his own label Hardmatter and recording for the likes of Distant Hawaii. Now the London-based artist is making the move to Scissor & Thread for a four-track trip into mellifluous deep house for discerning heads. As you would expect from the label, this is an understated affair, but the grooves are rock-solid. Hushed ambient tones glide in between the crisp drum machine patter, and Field proves his Jvxta alias to be thoroughly at home on this standout imprint. Just lose yourself in the subdued folds of lead single 'Water Temple' and you'll hear exactly what we mean.
