Joaquin Joe Claussell's Mixes vinyl

Joe Claussell's burgeoning Lower East Side Pipes project has given rise to a small grip of records dealing in live, vibrant house tracks that draw on guitar and other such elements to create a very singular sound. Here he revisits some of these jams under his own name to bring an alternative perspective on his creations, kicking off with a "Thermometric Dub" of "90 Degrees Below Zero". The tempo may be frantic, but the atmosphere on the track is actually more of a searching one, not least through the expressive guitar work that sits atop the thrumming house beat. "I Dub Thee Gipsy" is a slower affair where the beats break open a little and the synths in the background twirl politely around the guitar until a heads down dub-out takes hold. With the disco backbone of "Disorganized Corruption", there's ample room for the guitar to freak out in a blissful, groove-fuelled jam.
