EP Review: Dimension E.P. - Paji

This new EP from Germany's Paji sees him teaming up with Kitt Ball's Juliet Sikora and the pair create an approachable, refined take on house.

That title track is polished and refined, both Paji and Sikora's production styles demonstrating an attention to detail in the snap and crack of the drum patterns. Electronic chords give the track a deep, moody sound and  the vocal sparring lends the track a sassy edge. Dimention is minimal-esque in, the tough and slow sound cool but eminently accessible.

Lacerta backs the release and represents a solo production for Paji. A guitar lick gives the track a lightness that contrasts with some heavy beat work... And whenever I hear guitars in dance music like this I can never understand why they are so rare. Sexy as hell.

Dimension E.P. is out through Kittball now.

Stream: Love - Blak Movie

Debian Blak has been a bit of a regular on my blog for his lush fuzzy electro soul joints, and this one is no slouch. Love is from Blak Movie, a collaboration between Debian Blak and Boy In A Movie, and comes from the double A-side Give Up / Love, out on 5 May.

Stream: Ivory - Movement

Movement follow up their alienated and paranoid single Us with something a little different. Less sparse, Ivory packs a fuller and more soulful sound that suggests their album may be even more interesting than anticipated... Dig that guitar solo!

Stream: Girl - Jamie xx

More hotness from Jamie xx.

Stream: Drums - HARTEBEEST

Drums dropped into my inbox a little while ago but its dreamy, ethereal pop has been growing on me since then. This is the second track from the production duo and it is already out, but they've just put this grimey mix from Mura Masa that blends some serious bass together with blissful piano keys to create a weird yet intoxicating combination.

Check them both out above.
