following hearing "can't hurt you" in which foxman collaborated with layo & bushwacka! i saw the release of solo single "return it" that featured "hypnotic dance" as a b-side. i quite liked the whole release and thought steffi's remixes of "return it" was brilliant and especially the "acid games" version but "hypnotic dance" is the star of the release.
it is quite an early chicago house-flirt but then again throwback house music is also the modus operandi of hercules and love affair so it shouldn't be a surprise. a bassline that sounds like an re-take off 808 state's "cübik" set the mood along with some pitched down vocals. i think the reference point for that is countless records like chip-e's "time to jack" but also strictly rhythm classic "the warning" by wayne gardiner aka logic.
kim ann foxman's own vocal is brought on also and it's done and arranged in a throwback style with repetition and all that jazz. about midway in a synth that sounds like a synthesised toysaxophone but a bit smoother. my favourite sound is the classic deep house pad that comes in after the second or third verse. it still plays the same notes as the main lead and the bassline but the airiness and the subtle drama it brings into the mix is really nice. so is the swirly acidline that is a bit tucked away in the background.
good house musics basically.
