yann fontaine - dirty week-end

"dirty week-end" comes one of two fontaine records that i own, the second of which is "my love will surround" on amenti. the "implication & champagne ep" is a four tracker with a theme of shuffled percussion, bongo drums, affected organs and reverbed vocal samples. i bought the record a while ago and it was a blind buy but i had heard of yann fontaine prior with the quite deep "open your eyes".

this track kicks off with a jangly shaker and conga groove and is later joined with a steady bassline and additional percussive sounds. the organ go in after a minute and it's deeper stab of sorts that is delayed and phased. it eventually forms a melodic stucture but serves more as the companion to the bassline as some lighter rhodes sounds are introduced and a more organ sounds but from higher keys.

for some reason it reminds me of junior vasquez but with less circuit and more groove. it is also the track from the ep that is most peaktime of the bunch. the rest have their time either in the builds or with taking it down. great tools in the hands of any house dj.
