Habersham - Inconstant EP [Acute Recordings]

00:45 - July 9, 2004

by Andy P

Habersham returns with a vengence, after his much loved remixes that were hammered by the progressive deejays. He returns with an EP on Acute, Does it fit the typical Habersham mold?

Acute Recordings 007 – Habersham – Inconstant EP

Habersham is one of the new crop of breakbeat artists that seem to have taken the electronic music scene by storm. Habersham is the alias for Damon Fonoori, who was originally born in Iran, who has lived all over the world but now makes his home in Atlanta, Georgia. His tracks has become more played out by the big name deejays who seem to be adding more and more progressive breaks tracks to their sets. He is certainly one to watch out for and now he releases his new EP on New York based Acute Recordings, who’s mission is to give newer artists, a launchpad for world wide exposure and to release quality electronic music for deejays.

Habersham - Inconstant EP (acute007)

Side A. Inconstant
Side B. Expansion

Side A. Inconstant

The first track of this EP is more of a mixed bag of genres put altogether into one. This contains breakbeat elements, progressive house elements and a little tech house. If you are confused, don’t be; most artists tend to just make songs depending on their feelings and they usually don’t worry about the genre of a track. We start with a hi-hat and the track then gets going with some percussion hits in the background with a robotic voice that comes in saying “music comes from the heart”. Some more percussion appears in the background and that starts to build the track. It feels so dark progressive house at times but the sound effects that come in from the back, give it a more techy feel and then the drums give it a progressive breaks feel. All these elements work very well together but I bet this will not please the genre elitists, who rather have one track, be just one genre. This shows that Habersham does not want to restrict himself to one genre here and it shows how he is progressing as an artist because some of his earlier works was just progressive breaks but this show he is willing to explore. The track reminds you of Global Underground 019 because it is so dark. I like the track because it is deep and dirty, which few tracks want to be these days. The track continues building with the vocal and the drums backing it with the deep sound effects that come and out at times and does not change much from beginning to end.

Side B – Expansion

The flipside on this EP is very similar in some ways to Side A, because this does not have a defined genre as well. Expansion in some ways is tech house but in some ways it leans more towards house. We start with a deep voice that says “Music” with some drum hits, then a sample that the vocal sounds like a radio voice and it says “Don’t Miss everything”. It is another slow song, it has a subtle tech house groove that backs it, some people won’t recognize the tech house element here. With that being said, I’m more of the fan of driving tech house that picks you up and slams you into the ground but this will fit into more progressive leaning sets. It is a slow builder like Side A and relies on a deep vocal to push it. This will surprise some people because most people know Habersham simply from his progressive breaks output and most don’t realize that he has taken a completely different route here. The track just chugs along with most of the same elements, it will probably be played as progressive deejays are building their sets. Nothing much changes from the beginning till the end, it just tends to not to hook me. Tech house deejays will love this because it does contain a subtle progressive oriented groove.

Conclusion:
Habersham shows here that he is not a one genre artist, he shows that he has a lot more in the bag than most people think. He shows that he can finely craft productions for different deejays. This will be a hot item among deejays in the near future, if it is not already because both tunes are great builders. “Inconstant” is the better side here because it has more drive to it but “Expansion” is not bad either, thought I’m not a real big fan of “Expansion” because I feel it stays in one dimension too long. The EP breaks new ground for Habersham, it discards the previous perceptions that most people had of him and shows that he is a diverse artist.
