Seattle’s iconic House Cleaning Records presents a sublime EP of classic House originals, designed to soften the mood and create an intimate and engaging aura at any and all underground venues. Adam Collins showcases the best of his esteemed production and artistry, with the melodic and world-rhythm-infused tones of Get Me Started.
For the opening track we delve into a smooth jazz cafe arrangement, waves of simplicity rising and falling as tribal rhythms meet the colourful optimism of the underlying chords. It’s a spacious but engaging set-up, soon calmed by the warmth of synths and instrumental choices both distinct and subtle.
Next we’re embraced by a more funky overtone, still that eclectic instrumental approach shining light on the creative intentions of Adam Collins. Meanwhile the rhythms and bass-notes of Upstart keep things quirky and rather retro at the forefront.
Underground House Music is rightfully getting the summer solstice-like celebration and serenity it deserves – uplift and enchantment united amidst a precise and passionate approach to sound design.
Kucni Snimak offers the relentless looping sentiments of addictive Lounge and House Music, bass notes and fragments of natural world design and melody unite for an atmospheric and hypnotic listen that slowly but surely raises the pulse.
After this, Vracar takes things back to the bare essentials of pace and voice, for a soulful ode to the simple escapism of House Music that underground and indie fans across the ages continue to crave.
Versatility is a strength, but so too is the defiant ability to understand and consistently connect with the roots of the genre, and Adam Collins has mastered that balance with both heart and skill. The Get Me Started EP is an easy must for global dance music venues across the board – a timeless yet crisp and contemporary addition to the everlasting scene that continues to bring people together.
