Reel People specialise in richly percussive, mesmerisingly romantic melodies. Top notch jazz funk and soul. Metro, February 7th 2008
Oodles of club-savvy funk, jazz and broken beat rhythms: think cutting edge production combined with knowing retro flourishes. Music Week, February 13th 2008
Hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed second album Seven Way To Wonder and a set of storming, sold out gigs in London, Leeds and Manchester, Reel People are proud to present two brand new mixes by the major house talent that is Dennis Ferrer, released on March 24th (physical) and April 7th (digital) on Papa Records.
Having already won support from Pete Tong, ‘DF’s Out On Bail Mix’ takes the warm vocals of New York underground soul luminary Darien and marries them to a deep, techy mix, offering the perfect balance of light and dark. Bouncy, jerky drums sit on top of a wobbly, lurching bassline and wildpitch-style synth stabs. ‘DF’s Out On Bail Instrumental’ takes the track down a murky alleyway, adding pitched-down 303 squelches, a winsome melody played on what sounds like a synthesised melodica, and moody, organ-like stabs.
The Finnish producer's aptly titled second LP delivers an extended serotonin boost by way of dazzling synth grooves and crisp drum loops. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2024
