Sei A - 10 EP

  • Share
  • Seinan's tenth release is put in the reliable hands of its joint owner, Sei A. As his recent outings for Kompakt Extra and Simple have shown, Andy Graham has found the sweetspot when it comes to hitting a groove. On "Wants" this means creating a bassline with a tantalising hint of a classic—George Morel's "Let's Groove." With a deep rumble as its bedrock, Sei A folds in stretched, echoey vocals, pushes a hi-hat pattern upfront and lets that groove lock on and sit there. On "10," he opens the curtains and lets light flood in, wrapping up classic acidic bass with jerking claps and sun-dappled pads. In terms of mood, "Promises" sits somewhere between these two tracks. Cascading synths and a plaintive melody give it elegance, but its most potent weapon is a jacking, neo-Chicago rhythm that cuts through it like a surgical scalpel. It's more persuasive evidence that Sei A is one of the UK's most consistent house producers.
