john barera & will martin: this time

Supply boss John Barera and Will Martin follow two 2014 releases on Steffi's Dolly label -- the Milestones EP and the critically acclaimed Graceless album -- and a 2015 12" on hotly-tipped Chicago label Argot. "This Time" delivers dancefloor euphoria with rough-and-tumble 909 programming, well-seasoned percussion samples, and a soulful organ line. The introspective, swinging "The Maker" features Barera's trusty Juno 106 beautifully complemented by an eternal string line and bouncing synth stabs. The screaming disco loop of "Above" threads past teasing Juno licks until the roof blows off. The delicate beat of "Anchor" holds together its arcing, soaring synths.
