Will Hofbauer has built a reputation for rhythmically precise yet playful productions, releasing on labels such as Wisdom Teeth, AUS and Optimo Music, while also running the delicate Third Place imprint from his London home. His sound sits comfortably between UK bass, house and left-field club music, defined by a very sporty sense of groove, subtle swing and an ear for detail that keeps tracks slightly off-centre and alive. Across three original tracks on the EP, Hofbauer delivers exactly that: clear, sharply cut synth work, funky low-end pressure and a wonky bounce that never feels forced or predictable. On his own request for remix duties, Eden Burns turns the main track into a minimal percussion tool playing somewhere between an orchestrated cutlery box and alarm tone - annoying in theory, irresistible in practice
I love all Hessle Audio releases because they're just plain fun. This sort of thing hearkens back to 1991 in a good way with classic "rave" breakbeat elements with a modern touch of course. I think people have new labels for this music but it sounds like classic rave breakbeats to me and this is far from a bad thing. jonarmst
