What you sayNo-one has reviewed Rhythm Traxx by James Pants yet.
What the label says:James Pants' prominence in today’s electro R&B scene is something of a shock to the unassuming young man. A mere five years ago, back home in Texas, James was a young drummer and a DJ with a healthy interest in the records of the sixties, particularly those groups like Silver Apples, Bruce Haack, or Steppenwolf. A chance encounter with his favourite DJ, Peanut Butter Wolf, led to the record under the spotlight here. While Pants' forthcoming full-length LP ‘Welcome’, scheduled for 2008, distills the producer's many influences (you can hear traces of Skyy and Cameo, as well as outsiders Gary Wilson and Gary Davis), this new ‘Rhythm Traxx’ set will keep you busy until then. ‘Rhythm Traxx’ is also the first in a new Stones Throw series of "rhythm" LPs, each highlighting the individual talents of one producer, focusing strictly on instrumentals. As a tool for DJs, these stripped-down tracks take it one step beyond the good ol' hip-hop break record, providing some minimal instrumentation and other sounds that give the track character, but are still basic enough to be blended with numerous other records of a similar tempo. Inspired by Jive’s 80s series of instrumental DJ toolls, the ‘Rhythm Traxx’ series provides discerning DJs with tasteful instrumental segues, versatile in the mix, yet holding up on their own. James Pants' opening contribution offers beats mostly in his trademark electro style a la Egyptian Lover or Cybotron, but occasionally dabbling in mid-tempo freestyle and closing with an almost new-age percussive meditation. |
