Huxley - Bellywedge EP Review
House | Saturday 16th March 2013 | Dave
It’s fair to say that 2012 was a pretty successful year for Huxley, and with the recent release of his ‘Bellywedge EP’ it seems as though he is heading in the right direction this year.
Bursting on to the scene in 2011, last year saw the producer from Tring release ‘No Matter What,’ his ‘Out Of The Box EP’ on 20:20 Vision and house gem ‘Let It Go,’ which found itself nominated for ‘best single’ in the Best of British DJ Mag awards.
Michael Dodman’s latest project sees him return to Hypercolour, the label which released the dancefloor smash, for his latest two-track EP.
The A-side, ‘Bellywedge,’ picks up where ‘Let It Go’ left off, consisting of a rumbling 4x4 beat accompanied by a warped vocal hook. To mix things up a bit, Huxley slows the beat down halfway through, adding synths and scattered vocal samples before resuming the original bouncy rhythm.
‘Little Things,’ the second track, may well be the more infectious of the two. This one takes a trip back in time to the 1990s, providing the classic house sound. As with the title track, a bouncy, garage-like beat is present, assisting a high-pitched repetitive vocal sample.
