Point G - #7

  • Share
  • Point G records tend to subsist on a strict sonic diet. His tough basslines, the bread and butter of his music, seldom come with anything too fancy: a synth line, a catchy sample, or some shakers will usually do. This means the greatest asset of Gregory Darsa's music is its jack-of-all-trades diversity. #7, his latest release as Point G, is a mood board that draws in different emotions, from the pastel euphoria of "You" to the bright carnival funk of "Strike A Pause". "ADG" is the EP's sole misfire. It's a '90s house-style tune that, thanks to its hotchpotch of vocal samples, carries a paunch it doesn't wear particularly well. "Air" is the most spartan track and the most sober. You couldn't accuse "Strike A Pause" of being uninviting, but its furnishings may be too garish for some. Propelled by a brassy trumpet and a zoo of samples, it walks gamely—if unsteadily—on the line separating fun and frivolity. "You" hits its stride with much more confidence. Its affecting Balearic tones glide over signal noises and a valedictory shout that sounds like a call to arms.
