A fair bit of workmanlike house music crosses my desk as a ChainDLK reviewer, but I try to only pick out the tracks that have a bit of edge, some USP, or let’s be frank, a bit of evil and darkness in them, and much of the rest can come and go.

However, I’ve singled out “My Minimal” despite the fact that on the surface it’s very straightforward, another bit of ‘weekday house’ with little apparent guts. But there’s something infectious about the bassline of the title track that really lands well. A nicely controlled bass and sub-bass combination coupled with the walking house beat puts it at the top of its class for quality even if it hasn’t got an experimental bone in its musical body.

Second track “Feel The Music” is more mainstream, and less infectious, with a generic female vocal that does sound like it’s been borrowed from somewhere like sounds.com in lieu of any original ideas. But again it’s well put together, and there’s a curious but short lived choral pad sound that just hints at a bit of darkness underneath.

It’s slightly sizzled, lightly grilled, crispy house music that won’t raise any eyebrows but which has to be praised for being well cooked.
