By giving us Plastic Smile EP, Brasswork Agency (a.k.a. Justin Rick, dj/producer from Chicago) did great: futuristic house with tight beats, vocoder elements and deep techno emanations.
Let's start with "Hard to Read", a solid tune featuring a funky minimal synthetic bassline. Then comes in a stranger mood the hypnotic "Plastic Smile". In "I Must Have You" Justin takes us to a more romantic place while keeping upliftin. Beautiful melancholic vocoder sounds! The trip ends with "Crushed and Shaken" and its subliminal spoken words, a perfect track for late nights!...
