[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]The word around the watercooler is that Urban Torque have brought another deep house sensation into the fold. Nathan Boddy’s Office Gossip project has quickly become established as a force to be reckoned with in the house music scene. His debut release on Urban Torque immediately demonstrates why. All three tracks are skilfully engineered with timely breaks and structure that betray a producer who knows how to manipulate a dancefloor. With music this volatile, Office Gossip will lead to explosive outcomes. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]1. [B]‘Time Against Me’[/B] – A vicious, cantankerous, glitchy electro-tech assault whose urgency is softened only by wistful vocals and a deep backdrop of swirls and keys. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]2. [B]‘Downtime’[/B] – A tense, atmospheric journey through a jungle of echoes and tribal percussion that reaches an emphatic and exhilarating feel-good climax. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]3. [B]‘Formant’[/B] – Strident, dominant bass grounds this track while deep synths and dreamy pads conspire to mesmerise on top. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Through his Office Gossip project, Nathan Boddy has fast been garnering a reputation as one of the best of a new generation of deep house producers. A number of releases on Winding Road Records, the label that Nathan co-runs with John Buckby, have demanded attention, and 2007’s ‘Carbon Copy EP’ attracted an impressive set of reactions from the likes of Tom Middleton, Atjazz, Spirit Catcher, Vincenzo and Laurent Garnier. Nathan is now taking Office Gossip on the road with a live p.a. sure to take dancefloors by storm. [/SIZE][/FONT]
