Nice Review from Gilles Peterson for - Wave Dweller-Rat Race.
WAVE DWELLER
RAT RACE
Elliptic Records
House/jazz/hip-hop
Suave jazz-house optimism, full of sample silliness and easygoing attitude that eventually gives in to turntable high jinks
For those that struggle to get out of bed of a morning, here’s something to have you floating out of the duvet and down the stairs into a summery fantasy. Jazzy half-paced house from Wave Dweller’s Mark Newton, well named in occupying hazy margins wondering what The Go! Team would sound like with housier headphones and a deckchair, has Penny for the Well unpacking quirkiness in the form of vocal loops pulled from a gramophone and filtered Gallic sunshine reminding of a time when the loop of a good-sized twang used to instantly put dancefloors in good spirits. Either as a pleasing galvaniser, or call for time at the bar, Newton’s theory starts as a toe-tap, before a romanticised energy starts gravitating its way through your entire body.
Just as fresh is Rat Race, a geed up, tightly coiled jazz houser coming live and direct with a guitar line citing a mature strand of getting down. Aimed at the wrong ears and this’ll come off as smugly bland, a kind of coffee table house marginally missing out the part where it starts parties in hotel lifts and lobbies. Thankfully it develops a sense of fun – bottle-plinking percussion, more sample-babble, for a half and half of debonair and child’s play - that’s not quite as cheeky as the likes of Mr Scruff’s Get a Move On, but can get a serious round of grooving going on contact, strong enough to stand up on its own two feet if you initially think a vocal could do with testing its cool a little more.
Jazz Hands is definitely on some DJ Yoda/Scruff biz (there’s definitely a smell of fish in the air), with horns turning in unnatural turntable revolutions and the Dweller giving in to his inner kid as he prances round the ballroom. All-out wacky, in a hip-hop instrumental demonstrating his past times in vinyl rummages. 8/10
