Whether he realizes it or not, Seattle-based DJ and producer Dave Pezzner has found a rhythmic hotbed of creation in his music this year. Always one for including attentive production techniques with beautifully-crafted sounds, the Pacific Northwestern musician is able to achieve a nice balance in music and emotions on his newest release for 8Bit.
The Mesh EP delivers three originals and one remix from little-known producer, Zepp01. Pezzner brings his soulful touch of past memories forged with tight, modern production values to the listener once again, creating lasting impressions with every moment. The title track opens with a fierce groove and vocal loop that pair nicely, establishing a sense of percussive glory that never seems to grow weary. While many struggle with creating that interesting groove mixed with a house beat, Dave seems to add an original flair to such a watered-down idea of music. Introductions is slowed down and stripped a bit, offering a bit of a break between each of the sounds. This track is perfect for those still holding on to the past dreams of minimal dance music, but that doesn't detract from its intentions. Dave continues to use typical vocal stabs, and yet the feeling is not lost. Isn't that the sheer beauty of house music, though? A formulaic approach to creating a series of songs is predictable in theory, but the inclusion of such warm and meaningful sounds is the attraction. Circles follows suit, with resonating chords and dancing drums to keep everyone buzzed. The Zepp01 breaks away from the three-track mold that Pezzner has created with funk-infused jazz, giving the music a spaced atmosphere. But just like most great house releases, the words and descriptions are still irrelevant. The music speaks for itself, and Dave Pezzner's Mesh EP does a fine job with that.
