Dinky: Sealed / Eeled 12"

Chilean born Dinky imbues her particular strand of tech house with a sense of emotion rarely found in the genre. There's a certain dreamy quality to the two tracks on offer here. Perhaps it's the way she subtly works her vocals in to the cuts. Whatever it is it seems to be working. "Sealed" is the techier track of the two with its muted drum programming and undercurrent of sub bass. On the flip is the more house oriented "Eeled." The manic energy of its more arpeggiated synth work is offset by Dinky's cooing vocals.
