Colm K: The Love Vinyl 12"

Damn that's shmoove. Colm K already impressed us with his previous releases on Bastard Jazz & BSTRD Boots (especially that Basics 12"), and with The Love, the Ireland-based producer has stepped it up to a whole new level. Here Colm has matured his sound and combines influences from J Dilla, Herbie Hancock, Floating Points, Q-Tip, 80's boogie, and vintage house, to create supremely smooth and soulful beats that ensure good vibes and steady headnods. Just check "The Attic" and "Good Fridays" for a taste... pure butter! "Spaced" and "Nothing" continure the vibe, keeping things cool and sophisticated with tight drums and lush synth work. 4 tracks with pic sleeve designed by Donal Thorton. Recommended.
