This is the second full-length release by Berlin-based American Jay Haze under his Fuckpony alias. Haze is an exceptionally-gifted composer as well as the owner and head of countless labels, projects, and pseudonyms. As a result, hardly anyone knows the legacy of American-style house like Mr. Haze does -- but despite a sense of tradition, his intention was never just to reproduce a well-known sound. With futurism as a conceptual basis, Chicago as grammar, and pop as an abstract embellishment, through the diversity of his projects, he constantly crosses boundaries. The title track features angular, sharp-edged pop you could light a match with, while others illuminate like the lightning of a Saturday night and the pale daylight of a Sunday morning. This album also features emotional house tracks with plenty of kicks and super-tight bass drums, almost sounding as if Haze has discovered his feminine side on BPitch. You could call it house with heart -- an entire album without loops, and samples made from scratch. The horns, the drums, and of course, the dominating piano -- all sustain the Fuckpony vibe, with a gentler re-orientation. Let The Love Flow features vocals by Laila Tov and Chela Simone, who indulges in some genre-breaking soul moments that instantly make your arm-hairs stand on end. Let The Love Flow is a self-contained album with powerful, melodic arches and a great, dramatic understatement of house for ravers in love and for raved-out lovers who are still going, long after peak-time.
