Friends come first, so to speak. We hold the words of those we hold dearly as gospel, and this EP mirrors that feeling.
After his last release "One" on Room With A View (w/ Detroit Swindle remix) and several contributions to labels like MCDE, Endless Flight or together as Creative Swing Alliance on Wolf Music, Tsuba & City Fly - FACES Records & MCDE labels head honcho Pablo Valentino decide to release what he describes as his first full EP on his own imprint FACES.

"Friends Say So" is a nicely stripped down filter-jam; you don't need much when all the elements are good like this: a haunting female vocal sample, gritty lo-fi beats, a disco loop. Reminiscent of early Shake or the very first Sneak records, this beauty will definatly set the floor on fire.
 
"What Does It Take" sounds like a straight up Shelter anthem from '92 that just got unearthed. Heavy on the 909 and Juno keys, its the kind of late night jam that leaves everybody with a smile on their face. 

On the B-side, "Nuff Thangs" opens up things nicely; lush keys on top of a disco sample set the mood for things to come with "Can't You See", a female diva singing her ass off over dirty-as-hell MPC beats and rhodes stabs. You cant go wrong with this package!

All tracks produced by Pablo Valentino except B1. produced by Pablo Valentino & Kez YM.

Review :

After his stellar 'Stride EP' release (FACES 1210) last year and his latest offering 'Late Night Blue Sound EP' (on the UK's City Fly's Records/ featuring Andrés remix), Japanese deep house king- Kez YM is back on FACES Records!

Bringing delicious beatdown flavors to the cooking pot that blends Kazuki Yamaguchi into a serving of signature recipe Kez YM. 
With ongoing support from influential peers such as Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Rick Wade & Cassy, this is one delicious treat that will leave the fans salivating for more. 

His reputation extends beyond his delicious creations, as one of the standout Japanese House Djs currently holding it down in his hometown and Europe.

Mixing ingredients from Detroit, Chicago House, Funk, Disco & Afro and endlessly rocking dance floors and hearts from Panorama Bar in Berlin to Eleven in Tokyo.

The 'Root Bound' EP journeys beyond his past offerings, fresh ingredients and mouth watering grooves, with a sprinkle of that typical Kez YM signature sound!
