APPAREL PREMIERE: Mike Nasty - True Blue [Nasty Tracks]

APPAREL PREMIERE:

Mike Nasty
True Blue
[Nasty Tracks]

 

Seven tracks. Five originals, two dubs. Deep house built on Rhodes chords and jazz voicings, with the R&B harmony that gives the genre its warmth — the vocabulary that carried out of '70s jazz-funk into Chicago basements and never really left. Larry Heard, Kerri Chandler, Moodymann, Theo Parrish: less a list of references than the grammar the record is written in.
