Review: Radic The Myth - Fantasia EP (Vibe Me To The Moon Records)

Radic The Myth has been called up from 'Back To You' to Vibe Me To The Moon Records as 'Fantasia' as he continues his love of promoting South African based deep house.

Radic The Myth's EP 'Back To You' on Freerange has caught the ear of DJ Nightseppaz (he of 'Want Me' - see review HERE) and I bet he couldn't wait to get him, Njabulo Ndhlovu, signed up.

The lead track, 'Fantasia' has a percussion that could have been produced in an South African township with local electric guitar jazz motos that float on Balearic Island breezes (Ed. talk about "crossing continents") along with dusty maiden vocals. 

Don't this 'She Super Glued My Lips' is a NYC/PC title but it's got a steam train coming out of a tunnel into the light vibe to it (the sort of opposite of Berwick's 'Powerlift' - review coming HERE soon) and for that reason, it's fantastic as a semi-instrumental as the synths sound like voices themselves. 

Best descibed as a mix of what's typically 'Stay True Sounds' and 'Freerange', both labels he's released tracks on; the myth that is a legend is definitely radical.  Backing this one to be on the next Colour & Pitch Monthly mixtape.

Review: Radic The Myth - Back To You (Freerange Records)

Radic The Myth may not be a legend at the moment but 'Back To You' has got that feel of being on the cusp as Freerange Records continues its love of promoting South African based deep house.

After all the excitement of Jimpster & Bishy's 'Come Down' last month on Freerange Records (see review HERE), it's 'Back To You' with an EP by Radic The Myth. 

After releasing tracks on the influential Stay True Sounds label and having 'Rainy' on Stay True Sounds Vol.4, Compiled By Kid Fonque, and 'Ubuntu (Unity)' selected for Vol. 5 (see review HERE), the 3 tracks on Back To You, being the title track, 'Phone Calls' and 'Summer Solstice' are even further from obvious 'Afro-house' and much more iin the Chicago corner of Jimpster's label. 

The stutter of 'Back To You' plus the echo/dub vibe makes this a grower, especially as there's a "warm sub bass" in the house.  'Phone Call' is loft spoken world Parrish/Moodymann tradition with the Chicago Loop train system in support.  , 

And for some, the most exciting element is Jimpster addding his synth/keyboard talents to 'Summer Solstice' with infusion of jazz that is one of his trademarks attributes.

This EP compliments his other tracks, especially the dancefloor favourite, 'Ubuntu (Unity)' or indeed long-time supporter, DJ Andy Garvey's favoutrite, 'Return Of The Zulu Gangsta' (check out Andy's Delectabeats show on Afrodisiac Radio HERE every Sunday) and if there is going to be a Freerange equilvalent of 'There Ain't No Album!' lets have it before the summer solstice; hopefully with dub versions too!
