Fresh from the release of the superb ‘Heavy’ EP, a killer combination of deep house/bass music fusion in his inimitable style, Malik Kendricks makes his bow on Groovence. The headline attraction is undoubtedly ‘A Thousand Wishes’, a (drum machine) handclap-heavy slab of spacey and gently jazzy deep house lusciousness that Roy Vision later turns into a heavily swung slab of hard-to-pigeonhole, Motor City style tech-jazz eccentricity.
There’s plenty to set the pulse racing across the rest of the EP though, from the bustling beats, Yorkshire bleeps, classic samples and shimmering keyboard riffs of ‘That 90s Feeling’, to the ultra-deep, off-kilter excellence of ‘Bilene’ and the rolling, sunrise-fresh positivity of ‘Kairos’.
