The Last Time

Gosub - The Last Time

‘The Last Time...’ is the new EP from the much respected Miami artist, Gosub. Expanding on the electrofunk experiments from his previous releases, these tracks are a sleazy stab at predicting funk’s future. The intro track, ‘The Broadcast’, appears in instrumental form on the vinyl, and sets the tone for the EP with its laid back slide. ‘The Last Time I Saw You’ picks the pace up, setting yearning synthwork against an oscillating electrofreak backdrop, whilst ‘Towards Your Middle’ sounds like the kind of music that exhausted sexdroids would power down to. ‘Black Nova in G’ is a jazzier interlude and evokes the soundrack to a flight through the cosmos. But ‘Eyes of Nimrud’ reminds us why we are here – with a nervous synth designed to induce dancefloor spasms, this is electrofunk at its filthiest. ‘Keep It Raw’ rounds out the EP and in effect summarises a tenet of this release – with a minimum of parts, funk is at it’s most effective when it is stripped down.
