the rurals have been this act that has been delivering top notch material for a while and they put out music on their own label peng. they are a bit under the radar but i think it's sort of intentional, it's not music that feeds of attention but rewards it. this one i heard first on jesper dahlbäcks's stockholm mix sessions compo for tiga's turbo label.
dahlbäck starts off with some nice light tones and goes into the dubbier side of house starting with isolee's 'beau mot plage' and he eventually works in this track. it's kind of a re-imagining of bill withers' classic "ain't no sunshine"

what the rurals do with it is to keep the vibe but go for a chunky dub-infused backdrop and work and have the vocals and strings soar over the track in a sweet matter. i think it's gorgeous and while it's isn't bill withers it isn't trying to be him either. the drums and the atmosphere give it a good touch and it's useful in a wonky type house set.
