PRATEREI 006
VARIOUS ARTISTS #1
Discerning Austrian label and party of the same name, Praterei, kick off
2013 with their sixth vinyl release, this time a various artists EP leaning on
the well respected likes of Chicago Skyway, Ethyl, 7 Citizens and Snuff
Crew. Since the label started in 2010, deep house of an unpredictable
nature has been the mo, and that continues again here.
Mysterious jack lovers Snuff Crew take the lead with an unsurprisingly old
school flavoured slice of house. Raw and unpolished, classic hi hats and
sturdy kicks set the tone beneath colourful stabs and increasingly wild
percussion: it’s simple and most effective.
Praterei co-owner 7 Citizens´s ‘Perse’ is darker and deeper, a nagging
hook snakes about menacingly as a starry night sky of melodies reveals
itself above. Esteemed Chi Town man Chicago Skyway’s track ‘Shy Girl’ is
anything but, instead it’s a gauzy and derelict house track with scattered
drum hits caked in dust and grime.
Finally, secretsundaze man Ethyl closes out a dark and delicious EP with a
feels-like-you’re-floating, dubby house track that has hits to die for,
skating about beneath lush and melancholic chords. Despite this being a
various artists EP, there is a common vision amongst the producers here
for house music with a difference.
