Rhythm Code - Flash/New Jack [Morrison Recordings]

17:06 - March 27, 2006

by MTG

Fresh off the heels of a project with Chris Lake, the duo Rhythm Code return with an 2 track release on Canada's Morrison Recordings. How does it stack up? READ ON!!!

Flash

“Flash” starts off with a simple 4/4 drum pattern, quickly introducing some spacey melodic elements like a dreamy xlophonish melody and some trippy vocal snippets. All of this quickly gives way to a distinguished bassline, giving the track a very funky feel. Percussion builds the track until some synths take over, giving the track an almost jazzy feel. After this brief melodic section, more percussion comes in, giving the track an energetic and very danceable feel. Flash’s dirty bassline contrasts sharply with the dreamy synths, giving it the ability to change moods quickly and really play with a crowd. Scattered vocals are are panned, then mixed in and out, which when combined with the occasional faint piano chord stab, give the track a really funky feel, especially past the five minute mark. After this point, the track stops innovating and strips down to its basic elements, giving a DJ about two minutes to mix out of it.

New Jack

“New Jack” has a more subliminal and deeper feel than “Flash”. The track employs the same hypnotic percussion, but the melodic elements of the track are more consistent. “New Jack” keeps building by layering percussion synths, and eventually a bassline until a break at around the 3 minute mark. When the synths and pads give way to the beat after about a minute, not much has changed. The track eventually strips down to its percussion and ends. “New Jack” is not the most exciting or genre defying piece of house music, but could work nicely as a tool or in a lounge setting.

Conclusion:
I was pleasantly surprised with “Flash” and even though it isn’t anything new, the penetrating bassline is sure to get any crowd moving. “Flash” is a track that deserves a couple listens and the chance to grow on you because its appeal lies in its constantly changing and funky vibe which is easy to miss when just skimming through it. The production value on both tracks is excellent, a testament to Rhythm Code’s production talent, which they have been honing since 2003. “Flash” is without a doubt the pick of the EP, but both tracks are sure to move crowds anywhere. This EP is a solid effort from Asher Jones & Neil Barber that is definitely worth some attention.
