The legendary Chris Carrier delivers the 'Thrashin' EP for London's Act Natural this April -- four tracks of typically accomplished house from the French stalwart. Bass Culture, Robsoul, Freak N Chic, Hudd Traxx and his own Adult Only are just a handful of the labels Carrier has graced over the years and he rarely puts a foot wrong with his distinctive take on house. Title track, 'Thrashin', is built around a chunky rolling drum groove and trippy resonant synth line. Sonically the track carries a lot of weight with a busy structure yet each element remains neatly tucked away within its frequency range - a testament to the Parisian producers knowledge and experience. The 'Deep Mix' of 'Thrashin' is exactly that, a venture into the lighter end of the spectrum. Making the original a little less raw and focused on soft tones, subtle use of delay and dreamy pads. 'All Nighter' steams in full throttle from the beginning with a saw wave bass line pulsing alongside a natural kick drum as the driving force. An airy atmospheric background builds the track to the key point where an arpeggaited synth takes control. 'Mighty Grip' begins with an ever-evolving drum pattern, raw heavily reverberated claps and snares creep in sporadically giving the track a natural swing. The use of a classic 808 cowbell and acid bass line much like in 'All Nighter' gives the track a raw, 90's feel.
