j albert: all the things

J. Albert's debut EP for Hypercolour opens up with "Don't Hide It", a bumpin' and jazzy flavored house cut, resplendent with rolling snare drums and warm stabs, a sampled double bass riff and choppy vocal refrains. "Xtra Sauce" is another stellar house track. Fans of the Ron Trent/Prescription Chicago sound will instantly find an affection here with the rolling drums and soft keys, all pushed along at an energetic pace. "Vista" finds J. Albert in more playful mode, carving out a ten-minute jackin' underground house vibe that cuts raw and hypnotizing.
