Philipp Boston - Versatile Signature EP

  • Share
  • Philipp Boston is a young producer who calls Berlin home. His third 12-inch, the Versatile Signature EP, arrives a little more than a year after his promising debut on BTAIM. That record showed his knack for swinging, percussive DJ tools, and received widespread DJ support ("Night Chime" was picked up by Apollonia for their fabric instalment). His latest effort, hosted by Brothers In Love, is a long way from the stripped back sound of his maiden release, but is every bit as good. The melody-rich "Daphne" occupies the A-side. Like the rest of the Boston catalogue, it's loopy, but strings and pronounced keys give it a vibrancy not seen in his work before. "Action Jackson" channels Digitalism with a vocal sample plucked from Hakan Lidbo's 20000-relased "Walk Away." It's the release's most jovial moment and is the pick of the bunch. The closing track, "Acid Drops," has a bass-heavy squelch, but probably won't be the one DJs reach for.
