TS 003 vinyl

Run by a fellow named Grant in Los Angeles, Temporary State has fast made a name for themselves with previous editions compiling tracks from master producers. From the deep percussive work of deep4life boss Chris Gray or the atmospheric house of Chakaharta, all the way to the deep techno and Chicago inspired house grooves from Dan Piu. This time they serve up newcomers Kick Squad and the hard hitting classic house of "Do This Gig" complete with swing fuelled rhythm, bouncy basslines and dubby aesthetics. Meanwhile, "The Truth" (dub) is another rolling and tracky joint that makes a sweet DJ tool with its functional repetition backing an esoteric monologue. On the flip is more dubby business courtesy of The Rurals, who serve up the lo-slung tribal house of "Red Chakra" (deep cut), while "Songs Of A Thousand Names" is a dusty jam with hypnotic elements; mainly in those ethereal pad swells and a nifty filter sweep on its tough rhythm patterns.
