[B]Adrian Hour[/B] has been providing some outstanding tracks for [B]Toolroom Records[/B] over the past year, with[I] ‘Shoot To Thrill’[/I] proving a firm favourite on La Terraza at Space and [I]‘Ethno’[/I] on the recent [I]‘Rhythm Distrikt 03’[/I] compilation having wowed the Toolroom faithful. [B]Adrian Hour[/B] now cements this success with his debut solo release on [B]Toolroom Records[/B], his [B]‘Speaking Groove EP’[/B].
With a penchant for quality techno and tech house tunes, [B]Adrian Hour[/B]’s [B]‘Speaking Groove EP’[/B] carries that trademark techy sound throughout its three tracks. Leading the EP, [B]‘Speaking Groove’[/B] is a dark and atmospheric track with a cool groove, rolling bass and reverb-laden vocals that combine to create an accomplished tech tune. Next up, [B]‘Old Future’[/B] balances the metallic bite of the percussion with a throbbing bass and throws in a distorted vocal sample that echoes around the track at choice moments; this is one for the dancefloor. Concluding the EP, [B]‘She’[/B] is an encapsulating track that draws the listener in with a hypnotising melody layered over a soft bass with minimal and precise percussion. Taken together, these tracks create a techy soundscape for you to sink into.
