Jason HOGANS - Malletts Creek
SOUND SIGNATURE
Hip Hop / Drum n Bass / BreaksNew Vinyl 12" / 6 EUR / Sales
Theo Parrish’s label host Detroit beat breaker Jason Hogans for a fine session of dreamy, asymmetric grooves and louche moves.
A proper one for the drum nuts, ‘Mallets Creek’ courses with a rawly sophisticated Detroit brokebeat suss that, once reminded of, makes us pine for the ruder styles of Carl Craig, Detroit Escalator Company, Urban Trube, et al, something bad.
It’s maybe no surprise, then, that Hogans dropped his finest turns on Planet E back in the day, which share a lot join common with this lot, ranging from the killer drum keepie-uppie of ‘A Daydreamer and a Clown’ for the Dego headz, to the inch-tight beatdown swivel of ‘Favourite Coffee Mug’, and thru to stickiest heads-down tackle in ‘Do This Proper’, the swingeing syncopation of latin drums and guitar strokes in ‘Blue Blessed Rider’, and a fine Theo-esque hustle, ‘Kitchen Hype’ for good measure.
