HIOK 009EP
|
The ninth installment on House Is OK comes from Homeboy who brings four fresh joints to the table. Live drum sampling, loose synth riffs and other more personal notes can be heard across the entire release. For "Decisions Ricochet", Homeboy teamed up with the Croatian blues man Bebe Na Vole who takes this record into unexplored territories for the label. These four tracks weren't necessarily designed to move bodies on the dance floor, but they show his abilities to simply write great music. It's house not house, post-disco, jazz, and acid synth hippie music all at the same time.

HIOK 006EP
|
House Is OK co-owner Marko Pelaic aka Homeboy steps away from traditional house music to explore more experimental, modern sounds. "Kaprije" shines with a joyful piano hook challenged by heavy synth noise and cosmic weirdness. Inspired by a memorable day spent on the island of Kaprije in the Adriatic Sea, this is an uplifting hit for any serious collector. "The Simple Things in Life" is a warm, melancholic, mid-tempo swinger that transforms into beautiful absurdity, while "Somewhere a Band Is Playing" closes with a spacey, jazzy feel. No-nonsense house for anyone bored with 909 hi-hats and rolling snare drums.
