ABOUT THE LP>>>

“Throughout the LP, I worked with several iconic instruments, including a TB-03 and a Moog voyager XL to get that heavy bass we can hear in tracks like “Midnight Love” and “Acid Lullaby”. It’s an important part of my composing process to start with a good bassline because I believe that’s what builds the foundation of any house tracks, either to make it more dynamic or to give more emotion because it holds every other instrument together. It’s also usually what you hear the most in a club or at a festival.
I tend to take inspiration from source of music I can hear : It can be at a club when we invite all the legends and less known but talented artist from all over the world with De La Groove or from other genre of music like hip hop, Jazz and even video games music (like old school jungle music from the PS1 or synth pad from some Nintendo’s games).

Here’s what I meant by taking inspiration from everywhere : The first track “A Walk In The Park” is like the intro of the EP, the sampled I used reminded me of the morning when you just woke up, hearing the birds singing and the sun rising. “Soleil Froid” is like a tribute to the work of Grant Nelson, which for me, makes the most beautiful chords progression in house history, I analyzed them and even had the chance to talk with him a couple of times to know more about his workflow. Once I had finished with this track, I wanted to do something different for a 2nd single, something more acid and deep, something not meant for the club but for these moments where you feel the most the music you're listening to. For example when you are looking at the night sky smoking a cigarette, or going back to home after a long day of work, that was the mood I was in when I did “Acid lullaby”. These long notes of trumpet, which are a direct influence of some of Ibrahim Maalouf songs, represents, in my mind, of the peace people aspire to when dealing with all the chaos and stress (the acid bassline) you can have when it’s a bad day. I also, for the first time, worked with a singer, it was for me another challenge because you need to adapt to the voice of your singer make changes to let it breathe inside your track. I didn’t want to have complicated lyrics, I wanted the song to be groovy, catchy, something you can sing in the club or at a party, like a Louie Vega track. On “Midnight Love”, I sampled the voice from an old school house track I found in my vinyl collection, I fell in love with the sample and directly thought I could do something bouncy, deep and what in my head I could call a club banger. That’s where the Moog came in, I needed that heavy fat bass that would shake the walls of every place I can play that only this iconic synth could deliver. The first I played it in Rex, the public went crazy, it was exactly as I pictured it when I first started working on it.
I used a lot of trumpets and saxophones sample in this EP, it was to empathize this jazzy or soul vibes I grew up with in my home. Sometimes It gives a nice mellow or lounge vibes to the track like for “Whiskey, No Ice” and sometimes it gives that nice top line and melody. I like working with it, It might not be the last time I use some in my songs ! “

'Black Note Rhythm' is a classic from the get-go. Straight drums, movement-inducing percussion, and spacey pads are all takes for a beautiful dance floor warm-up. on the flip side, The Aquatic People provides an extended rework of 'Black Note Rhythm'. Harder drums, a steady groove, and soulful vocal chops turn this gem into a versatile dance floor track.

Malik Hendricks - Praise
Praise EP
Off Track Records
Release date: 24-Feb-23

Will Buck’s Off Track Records welcomes Brooklyn, New York’s Malik Hendricks onto the label this January with his ‘Praise’ EP, accompanied by a remix from Eli Escobar.

Over its past six releases Will Buck’s Off Track imprint has unveiled a series of stomping house EP’s from the man himself, including collaborations with Pleasant Systems boss Tilman, Shall Not Fade regular Felipe Gordon and recently an EP from Dolly artist John Barera. Here, Will once again welcomes a new artist onto the labels roster, this time Malik Hendricks, a Brooklyn-based purveyor of raw and soul-infused House sounds previously found on labels such as Bliss Point, Coloring Lessons, Darker Than Wax and more.

Opening the EP is ‘Melody and Rhythm’, as the name would suggest fusing an amalgamation of intertwined, intricately unfolding synth melodies with a crisp, crunchy drum groove. ‘Know Me’ follows next and lays down a twitchy synth line alongside airy chord sequences, vocal chops, brass licks, metallic chimes and an off-kilter rhythm.

Title-cut ‘Praise’ opens the flip side and sees Hendricks embrace a more classic House feel courtesy of gospel vocal lines, jazzy keys and robust percussion. One of New York’s most iconic DJs of the cities contemporary House and Disco scene, Eli Escobar, then rounds out the release with his take on ‘Praise’, putting his own stamp on the original with the introduction of a bubbling arpeggio line, choppy bass stabs and a gritty drum machine workout.

Release Text:
Detroit is a city that has given birth to some of the most important musical movements and artists of the last century. It’s a city of infinite inspiration for the world, a city that throughout all obstacles, has managed to breed a musical vanguard that we are all paying attention and looking up to, not to mention the biting, taking, and straight up jacking of this culture. There is a feeling, even an expectation, which comes with the music from the Motor City. Producer Kevin Reynolds is a true native son of Detroit.
 
With the release of single ‘Fembehyahget’ in 2016, the seeds were planted for Yoruba to release his official debut album. But Kevin Reynolds likes to take things slow! The second single from the collection came a lot later-  ‘Come on Then’ in 2021, followed by ‘Riverfront’ in October 2022.  Now Yoruba Records is finally proud to announce, ‘A Certain Circumstance’, by former Transmat Records key player, Kevin Reynolds.  Anyone with a close connection to the electronic underground in Detroit can attest that Reynolds is one of the city’s most key artists, one of the true unsung heroes of the scene. Considering the sheer amount of talent within the Motor city, that goes way beyond a simple compliment. 

Opener ‘Abandoned Car Seat’ serves as a great introduction to Reynolds range as a producer, a master class in tech-tinged deep house. Bathed in a warm moody chord progression, accompanied by a cold synth line that’s layered with equal opposite Rhodes melodic line. The blissed-out energy of ‘Fembehyahget’, is followed by the deep tech bounce of ‘Come On Then (Rerub’) and the sun-kissed frost of ‘Riverfront’, all making a necessary re-appearance. ‘Completed Stance’ is the type of composition that finds a true home at Yoruba Records. A looped guitar starts the journey, bringing in piano, then dropping an ancestral stomp on the beat.  This has all the ingredients of one of those late-night Yoruba dance floor scorchers.

Reynolds strips things down on ‘Family Tree’, showing some bare bones funk, and dropping a vocal sample from someone you may or may not know who is deeply connected to that Detroit legacy stuff we’ve been talking about. ‘Inward Breath’ and ‘Seeking Peace’ bring some of the most transcendental moments of the album. Reminding us of the spacious and supernatural feelings of Hiroshi Watanabe’s 32 Project - music to truly lose yourself to the divine. Closing the proceedings is the broken beat electronic jazz of ‘Soil Before the Rain’.

Kevin Reynolds brings a relaxed, but intense focus to this album. Nothing feels forced! There has always been a linear narrative regarding Reynolds as Detroit’s best-kept secret. With ‘A Certain Circumstance’ that secret is finally out.
