LOVE POTION / DRUM POTION by THE RHYTHM ODYSSEY

On this release Leng state their proper intent. Whilst still sharing some middle ground with Claremont 56, Leng will delve deeper into electronic club territory, leaving the more organic wares for C56.The Rhythm Odyssey is none other than Dean Meredith, a UK house hero from way before the last two ‘Old School’ revivals. Title track ‘Love Potion’ puts you at the dark end of a smokey room and pounds you with a dense punch of kick drum, an itchy shuffle and an acid bassline straight from the Transmat school, and into pads and piano line and you’re back in the warehouse. ‘Drum Potion’ offers up some awesome phased hats over a heady drum machine workout. Over on Side-B “See In The Light” gives us a similar ride all be it with a heftier acid bounce, swampy tempo and wonky keyboard workout. We finish with ‘Dub Potion’ which heads straight into the acidics for a slightly more intense ride. Again this man pulls out another winner as he been doing for more than twenty years, with all the knowledge distilled back to its rawest components.
