Nuff Said recordings inaugural release treads a finely balanced line between Deep House, Future Garage and Techno flavours. The result of a collaborative effort between Auckland based producers Tommy Flowers ( Host of the George FM Nuff said radio show ) and Keepsakes ( Who is likewise building a strong reputation with discerning Auckland club goers for his upfront blend of techno influenced bass), this 3 track e.p packs serious production smarts into its three tracks.
Opening track 'Do' is, for me, the standout, grafting sexy Garage syncopation to tough Techno stabs and a seductive Deep House slink, 'Do' oozes class in a very special way. 'Code' walks a more trad Deep House route, all Rhodes Electric confectionery atop a stately kickdrum bounce, and closer 'Suspect Packages' is a deft confluence of all three genres, it's cheeky vocal sample lending a catchy refrain to the chunky groove and nuanced percussion.
A strong starter for this young label, the Suspect Packages EP can be purchased from the Nuff Said Bandcamp page.
I'll be interviewing Flowers & Keepsakes in the coming week, keep a look out.
