Norm De Plume enrols Danish wonder-kid Paxton Fettel for another joint 4-track EP (vinyl- only). There’re 4 original tracks, 2 from each producer, split by side. Another tasty, collaborative release brimming with deep, low slung and mid tempo goodness.
The title of this EP is rather fitting, seeing as Paxton Fettel has already make the trip from Denmark’s capital to London when he played to his 1st UK audience back in May at the 2nd Plumage Label Night in Hackney. The young Dane has been slowly but surely growing his profile with 3 previous EPs and now an outstanding debut album on the label he co-runs: Greta Cottage Workshop. His recent EP on Apersonal also made some serious waves amongst the deep house fraternity. Norm De Plume joins Mr. Fettel on the bill at Culturebox in København mid-July and then the two will reunite once again to play Norm’s 3rd & final UK Plumage party for 2015 on 1st Aug and back in East London.

A1 Paxton takes us deep, lifts us up, and grooves us out with Ambling Waves In Eternity. Lovely piano motifs and repetitive synth lines keep the track moving whilst the lush pads drench your soul in deepness. A live bass line and organic syncopated acoustic drums complete the package and give a unique groove, something we’ve come to expect from Mr. Fettel. Far out!

A2 Marble Street feature’s a quirky Hawkins-esque computer vocal and loads of lovely Rhodes licks and ad-libs. We have analogue synth stabs and a central running synth motif that drives the track along. Hard-hitting drums with plenty of toms and reverse claps punch you into the rhythm. Those lovely analogue pads are back too, and there are some really tasty hi-hat and cymbal routines as the track progresses, all sounding as clean, warm and natural as a morning, summer walk in the Alps!

AA1 Norm De Plume takes things super-deep and slightly dark with his 1st cut: Rhythm & Sound. A filtered piano, present throughout is the backbone of this track, but that’s by no means all there is to this deep, driving, heads-down affair. Synth stabs, crying moog ad-libs and a swelling, pulsating Rhodes build the pressure and tension, before the sub-bass (line) is unleashed and sets the track on it’s trajectory, destination deep! We’re treated to a key change before the track breaks and then those Rhodes chords come into their own and unleash their power to bring the track to a ghostly climax.

AA2 Step In Time see’s Norm return to the tempo he knows and loves: 105bpm – it just doesn’t get groovier than this if you lay down your drums right.... An ultra-dusty disco drum break is reinforced with Norm’s favourite post-produced kicks, snares and hats. The result: heavy, heavy, swinging drums on which to place funky octave clav licks and that favourite organ sound of his, that pulsates away and is used to great rhythmic and harmonic effect, layered, chopped and in a rising 4-chord motif. The bass line follows the organ and a filtered disco vocal snippet is introduced...all, then becomes clear, we’re going to roll! We get a couple of nice breakdowns, with just bass and drum (and some tasty Simmons high pitched toms interjecting for good measure). Then the final build before Norm unleashes both full bass & organ – a deep n’ slow disco monster and make no mistake!
