Michael James 8211 Signal Issues

These three offerings from Michael James might fit into the minimal/tech bracket comfortably but there\’s a free flowing, shuffling sense of funkiness that undeniably runs through them all that defies all the usual \’shoulder twitch\’ stereotypes about the genre. \’Signal Issues\’ employs a panther-like bass hovering under the radar, with the briefest of breakbeat snippets adding the growing syncopation. \’Still Waiting\’ continues the technofunk mission, a sea of underplayed bleepery augmenting the groove, while \’Rush Hour\’ has a breezier and more open vibe and perhaps a more classic techno feel, proper graceful like.
