Lay-Far - The Trinity EP

There aren’t many producers working on the soulful and jazzy end of the dance music spectrum with quite as a strong a discography as Alexander Lay-Far. Whatever label he’s operating on, the Russian producer always delivers the goods. He’s done it again here on his first Razor ‘N’ Tape Reserve outing. Over the course of four must-check tracks, he confidently bounces between jazz-funk-flavoured broken beat/deep house fusion (‘Searching For Your Love’, with its’ ace slap-bass and starry keys); deep and jazzy breaks (the head-nodding, toe-tapping ‘Trinity’), warehouse-ready late night hedonism (‘What It Is’, with its Yorkshire bleeps, raw analogue bass, bouncy beats and soulful vocal samples) and bluesy, sample-heavy jazz-house (‘You Can’t Stop The Profit’). In a word: ace!
