June 17, 2022 - Dabbs Traxx
Amy Dabbs kicks things off on her brand new label, the as-of-now-Dabbs-only Dabbs Traxx, with a three track project titled Four Track Mind EP.
‘Ghosts’ rolls in with the morning dew, a slightly chilly whisper passing through the condensation-covered flora. The vibe remains chilly throughout, with tight percussion giving structure to a groovy bassline and swelling electric chords.
The next track, ‘Til You See,’ follows a similar path through the world of classical house music, a winding, slightly less trodden direction through icy moods and sharp emotions. Several slightly dissonant motifs coexist in the space, vying for attention. The central bassline carries the common thread, joining the darker synth lines together with the bright bursts of jazzy brass.
The title track ‘Four Track Mind’ comes in to finish things out at full brightness and with a playfulness in percussion not seen on the previous songs. Elements fly in from all directions, collaging themselves together for a brief moment before exiting stage right. Dabbs has once again heralded in a bright and lush solstice: welcome to the summer.🍍
