Regular readers will know we like a great 12" from the Ascension on Wax label and they've had a bit of a coup with a Nico Lahs remix too so lets get into the 'Mystic Aquazone'!
You'll recall it wasn't that long ago we we're eager to check out the "Bari Boys", Nicola Conte and Nico Lahs combination (as Tema Due) and their EPs 1 & 2 (see review HERE) and then we spot Lahs is on this EP, 'Mystic Aquazone' EP by Black Eyes (aka Matthew Jesus).
Following on from the 'Unity EP' by Toronto Hustle x Sean Roman featuring Javontte (see review HERE), Black Eyes' three tracks 'Fish Lyfe', 'Submarine Tuff Guys' and 'Vibin' Times In The Hydrocity' sound like they've been hauled out of the fish tank but they've been billed as "subtle somky house grooves" which indeed, they are as they follow releases on his own label, Upstairs Asylum Recordings (Ed. no truth in rumours of the inspiration that 'Gerry The Fish Whisperer' came from the YATM offices).
These tracks are deep in the Detroit house foundations so what of the Lahs' remix of 'Fish Lyfe'? Expecting an "Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, Latin" element? Well, don't as it's more rain forest dreamy house synthed up with jazz-funk undertones that's more groovy than the bangin' original version.
Ascension on Wax is a "Berlin-based house music label focused on collaboration with visual artists and dance music producer" so their limited edition 12s in individual sleeves, don't hang around and pre-order as soon as!
