Rick Wade
Your Strength
Popcorn Rec.
Detroit don Rick Wade will know well what he's sitting on here, gifted to Popcorn Records out of Paris. The majestic 'Your Strength' — with its gentle, pulsing organ chords, a hanging string, and grinding, bumping percussion — boasts a yearning vocal that will shatter your very soul. The stuttering, glitchy version from Flabaire is really no slouch either. Elsewhere, 'Warm Up' brings the swing, in a track bursting with space and movement, skittering snares and bursts of white noise thickening the simple chords. First-rate house music, as you might expect from a genuine master.
