With support coming from heavy hitters such as Sublee, Dragutesku and Costin Rp Baban’s perky sluggers on Habits Records are on point.
Now onto their 31st release the UK imprint know all too well by now that they are on to a good thing and Baban’s intro to the family is right on the money.
The low-slung grooves of our premiere track ‘Are We On The Same Page’ strip it all back until just the bare essentials are revealed. The swinging beats and spacey fx’s wash around the moody bumps. Lighter than air the tidy rhythms glide across the deep bassy tones and segue smoothly into the next segment with ease.
Winding back to the top of the release and ‘Did You See My Cat’ dances a jazzy dance with the almost wooden percussion again making a welcome appearance. A funny name but images of your favourite pussy leading its owner on a magic mystery tour.
Mike.D dials up the mystery to 11 and the filtering pads hint at the ever-elusive cat before vanishing in a ploom of smoke. ‘Not Sure Where I Am’ offers up some serious swagger by way of the tidy rapped vocals. As spot-on as this release is it’s the last track on the release that does it best. The processed quips from the unknown assailant give an otherwise deep workout the right amount of swag to push the track into new realms.
Baban’s EP is now available on the Habits Records’ Bandcamp.
