Krushes レコード& CD

Review: Veteran Aussie artist Kaz James returns with a dynamic double A-side that finds him laying down some slick tech-house vibes underpinned with catchy grooves. 'Rocker In The Disco' has a fleshy low end that rumbles with real weight as spiralling chords add scale. It's a moody cut that keeps you on edge then on the flip side, 'Dance Her Right' maintains the energy with punchy basslines and catchy hooks. It's a more buoyant sound designed to lock in dancers and take them to the next level. Both tracks have become key features in his sets at events like Art Basel, Burning Man, and Pacha Ibiza and following the success of his hit 'Sun is Shining' he shows he still has plenty more to say.

Review: Kaz James launches his new imprint Krushes with 'Sun Is Shining', a deftly crafted single whose vinyl edition also includes an instrumental on the B. Sporting a highpassed breakdown befitting of only the best progressive house - the track's progression, in this case, gives rise a two-note reverie of the sweetest character - the sublime beat drop supplies the listener an almost equal sense of wonder, with vocals singing of dawn lights and nectarine skies, as the presence of a rainbow over the dance affirms our presence. The track's rhythm guitar is an especial choice by James, one that will surely go down well as a summery draw, and will stand out in the mixes and big name DJ droppings to come.
