Martin Hayes

Like many producers, Martin Hayes has built his career on the twin pursuits of original, sample-heavy house production and floor-friendly re-edits. This 12'' sees him reaching for the scalpel once more, delivering a quartet of killer cut-jobs for Brooklyn's mighty Razor 'N' Tape. He begins with the rubbery bass, punchy horns and sweaty disco percussion of ''Get On Down'', before offering a perfect balance between low-slung strut and epic, string-laden brilliance on the even better ''Make Me Dance''. Flip for the percussion-heavy disco-funk workout ''Tight Spot'', and the atmospheric funk breaks, glistening guitars and spacey delays of EP closer ''Ol' Funky Music''.
