Jozef K & Winter Son – Dancing Chaos Star
Two talented and experienced house heads in the form of Jozef K & Winter Son hook up for this fresh new EP on Skint.
It was in the hallowed bowels of Berghain that Winter Son (aka Ghosting Season/worriedaboutsatan member Thomas Ragsdale) met Sankeys resident DJ Jozef K, and since then the pair have been cooking up plenty of club ready greatness. They have released on labels like Sasha’s Last Night On Earth, Rebirth and New York’s Let’s Play House and now they take us on another trip through some proper hardware jams this time on the legendary Skint.
First up is title track ‘Dancing Chaos Star’, a deep, spiritual bit of house with buried basslines, organic and seductive vocal samples and a slinky sense of groove that percolates throughout, keeping you locked from start to finish. Then comes ‘Forbidden Ritual’, a slightly more unhinged track with skewed synth lines, well treated vocals and a sense of dark tension that rises up throughout. Jacking percussion and oodles of reverb make this a truly resonant cut that will no doubt fill an entire warehouse with sound.
Finally, ‘Strike The Shepherd & The Sheep Will Scatter’ is another spine tingling cut with dirty bass stabs, explosive percussive patterns and a raved up energy that will make floors really sweat in the coming months.
This is an EP that exudes class and quality and is another real winner from the minds of Jozef K & Winter Son.
