Pete Bandit is back on Dirt Crew Recordings with a strong 4 tracker. After his 2022 EP “Wild Feelings” and contributions to our 20th anniversary compilation and remixing “Petals In Sound”. This new “Trying & Crying” EP builds further upon the creative course set out in his earlier releases, serving classically infused house music inspired by those who laid the foundations in the seminal scenes of New York, Detroit, and Chicago. The EP is meant to be more club-oriented than his previous work.
The opening track “Trying & Crying” is a deep excursion into solid deep New York style house from the mid 90s. As well as “No Control (Let Loose),” where a haunting vocal sample and lush pads and keys really pull us back to that golden era of house music. “The Meat Computer” adds a more solid Bass Line and this “spiritual” touch with its great percussion parts, which are rougher and feature a more forward-pushing arrangement. Closing out we have a special guest appearance by Dr. Sud. known for his deep jazzy outings on labels such as “Cognitiva Records” and “Q1E2”. He elevates “No Control (Let Loose)” in a special break beat and percussion frenzy, going deep, very smooth and beautiful!
