And yeah it has loads of wide open space and is off key in a really good way. Not trying to be big just doing their thing and staying with you for a long time. Records that do this are quite hard to find. No wet effects, which is really refreshing, and it just runs in a really tidy arrangement. ‘M Flight’ takes that thing where you run a sample in a keyboard (think Todd Terry ’88) and play it up and down as the hook, adds a pad, some congas, a kick, a bass line and what more do you want. I just want to hear this record really really loud. Pender Street Steppers ‘M Flight’ / ‘Openin’ Up’(PPU)Īh… Space and music.
There are only 300 of these and you can buy via Juno and Rush Hour in Europe. He clearly thinks in structures of melody and this record comes highly recommended. ‘Zither’ goes heavy on the layered sound to build up a hook that repeats throughout, a cosmic banger, for want of another description, with ‘On the Cliffs’ pulling the two tracks together with some tidy chords. Ok so thats the second track on the B side but the other two are just as good if not better. If you want to know what it sounds like it channels the sound of Wally Badarou and has melody galore. The idea of a snapshot recorded inspired (and titled) ‘Birds & Morning Rain’. He was wandering the streets of Toronto’s Cabbagetown neighbourhood a few months back and found a cassette tape on the street labelled 'BIRDS IN THE MORNING RAIN, MAY 8, 1988.' Going on the 8s being good luck he took it home, dubbed the cassette and discovered it was just as titled. Jex is on for a mix soon but I like his style already. Jex Opolis ‘Zither’ / ‘On The Cliffs’ / ‘Birds & Morning Rain’ (Good Timin’)Īfter ‘Sharing’ (which was one of the sleeper records of last year for me) comes this one.
