Here is Another's second release, a three-track EP from Chicago's iconic house producer Rick Wade, who has reinvented himself in the recent years. This is quite obvious on this record which oscillates between old school and modernity, especially with the track "Be The One", a futuristic deep house anthem. Rick fans won't be disappointed. Vinyl-only.

YORE 024EP
|
Deep house soldier Rick Wade has been releasing deep house tracks long enough to warrant a royal title, and now he returns with the mighty Duke Of Cologne. Driven by a slinky backbeat, the title track gets its skanky kick from a wah-wah guitar figure and classic, disco-era strings. "Forever Pimp" rolls out an immense thrust. Alongside a driving house rhythm, congas, electric piano, a snake-charmer flute, and high-pitched strings take turns in the spotlight. Not to be missed!

YORE 010CD
|
This is the first full-length release for Yore Records by Detroit house legend Rick Wade. The Good, the Bad and the Deep finds Wade continuing his very own deep strain of late-night house music he has been drawing upon since 1991, while still keeping his feet in the future. In fact, when the artist, DJ, and label head (Harmonie Park and Bass Force) sprinkles a little Chain Reaction dust over the funky handclapping swing of "Prime Expansion," Wade acknowledges a relatively recent style before shifting the spotlight back to his preferred territory. Wade naturally references techno and house but also pulls classic disco, smooth jazz, funk, and Philly soul into its expansive orbit. One hears traces of Barry White in the soulful strings that sometimes course through Wade's steaming tracks, Gamble and Huff in the sparkling arrangements, and The Crusaders' Joe Sample in the Rhodes flourishes that caress the grooves. Following an intro of soft chords, triangle, and congas, "Focus" achieves lift-off when the beats kick in, after which Wade sweetens the deal with twilight synth colors and silken strings. A smooth jazz spirit infuses "Xavi" with a feathery sax motif and a springy bass line buoying a sleek disco-funk pulse. "Hustler's Den" bridges three decades in a single gesture -- the cut's pounding stomp is overlaid by a see-sawing Rhodes motif and a '70s-styled bass slap, which are then joined by horn accents and a soaring string line. Wade's tracks are rich with detail but their essence is first and foremost groove. The Good, the Bad, and the Deep also features vocals on the last track by Marissa G. (Marissa Guzman). This eight-track set impresses as a polished portrait of the artist and should not be missed.
