Cottam

Aptly titled “Deep Deep Down” sculpts the feeling of acid techno into warm slo-mo house. Ukrainian producer Vakula takes the track off on another tangent entirely; stripping away its propulsive chugging heartbeat and replacing it with an off-kilter, spaced-out pulse reminiscent of Theo Parrish when he’s in that kind groove. On the flip, “Twang” is a return to Cottam’s brand of languid, soulful house, steeped with groove destined to incite the dancefloor shuffle.
