LEO POL レコード& CD

Review: Bass Culture Records latest missive comes from Leo Pol, a producer arguably best known for blurring the boundaries between deep house and tech-house. The St Ouen Connexion member is at the top of his game throughout, starting with the pumping jazziness of "Caliente", where fluid electric piano lines and angular electronic pulses gleefully ride a stomping analogue beat. He impressively changes tack via the mind-altering two-step garage roller "FNC Burning", before opening the flipside with the attractive '80s Chicago deep house revivalism of "Dark Outside". To round things off, Leo Pol slams down a weighty slab of atmospheric techno bounciness rich in hissing hi-hats, slamming kickdrums and clandestine melodies ("Techeyes No!").
