The man that represents the deeper side of Amsterdam house is back on Dirt Crew. His last outing on Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings, the Le Troubadour EP was another fine example of that laid back funky deep house only Nachtbraker can squeeze out.
Settling into the groove immediately is Hump, bouncing chords and a warbling Rhodes lead into an irresistible bass line. The title track, Backstabber hits right in the hips, a chugging feel good work out for the dance floor.
The flip remains true to the flavour of this whole EP, offering up a massive speaker rattling bottom end and funk flavoured keys on Time Is Of The Essence, while Monday Mourning steps up with expertly cut disco samples, an effervescent excursion with a jazzy lead and a touch of vocoder for good measure.
Nachtbraker's sharp sense of harmony and knack for vibe is ever present throughout this whole release, he has truly fine-tuned his sound to a perfect balance of unbounded energy and stylish musicianship. We are happy to welcome him back on Dirt Crew with this classy release.
