Dirty Laugh

Daniel Ray returns to Piston with the brilliant Dirty Laugh. His last outing – Keeping On, via Eyepatch Recordings performed very well indeed and no doubt this one will be following suit.

Dirty Laugh intros with a real drumkit feel as nicely tuned kicks are joined by a snappy snare hit and crispy hi-hats. A warm, deep chord comes in to take control alongside a probing bass providing a deep groove to get down to. Various layered sounds begin to find their way including some excellent gritty synths raw plucked strings. On the break we get a dosing of organic sounds that contrast perfectly off each other as those plucked strings and that deep bass continue leading us back into full swing and those super tight drum patterns. A deep and thoughtful slice of house music that will keep you on the move into the small hours.

Blowing In The Wind offers up some excitingly cool drums that exude real world flavour. That punchy kick drum is complimented by a intricate hat and percussion arrangement which settles into a fine flowing rhythm. Big, brash bas notes dominate as warm piano keys ring out alongside excellent FX. A real hypnotic deep house cut here and a definite must have for those in need of some surreal moments on the floor.
