Chris Chambers - Digi Killed my Vinyl EP

by Chris Chambers

For the most part, Digi Killed My Vinyl sounds like it was inspired by the loop techno of the late 90s. The title track is a rolling, tribal techno groove, home to billowing chords and insistent stabs. "The Way of Funk" has a lighter touch, derived more from the party variant than monotone one-note loops: set against a pile driving rhythm, unashamed vocal samples are merged with summery disco filters for some good-time DJ music. "Tribalismo" does exactly what its title suggests, chopping up a vocal sample over insistent, rolling bongo drums, while "Wawa" provides a surprise with its deep melodies and understated, wiry rhythm.
