The Hybrid EP vinyl

For the latest release on his NDATL imprint, Kai Alce has reached to a long-standing but oft-overlooked stalwart of the deep house circuit, Brett Dancer. With releases on Track Mode reaching back to 1994, Dancer has been active one way or another right the way through, and these three jams find him in fine fettle. "The Hybrid" certainly sports plenty of Midwest soul in its warming synth lines and soulful outlook, while the inherent spirit of techno noticeably keeps the track pushing forwards. Dancer's "Unreleased Dub" of "Someone" comes draped in similar styles, with the added injection of vocal licks and pattering bongos, before "Something" takes on a more obviously house tone for the deeper end of the night.
