The Second Transition vinyl

The always classy deep house emporium Boe recently uncovered a gem of Ukrainian production talent with The First Transition EP from the previously unheralded G-Transition. Wisely the label have secured some more well paced house movements from the mysterious producer with this highly limited ten inch, snappily titled The Second Transition. Lead track "Guiding Light" is so slow it feels ever so slightly dragging at 45rpm! Don't be put off though, as the laid back pace and simple drum programming consisting of little more than delayed congas and shuffling hats allows the expertly arranged layers of harmonious synth, Rhodes, analogue bass and strings the chance glisten. Less is more on the flip as "It's Not An Artform, Just Beats" lives up to its name with a little more than a rasping groove and gently expressive arpeggiated lead floating over a restrained backdrop of fizzing atmosphere.
