Matt Caine 'Like A Fool' (Nordic Trax)
Canadian producer Matt Caine returns to the Nordic Trax label with a new EP of silky deep tech. ‘Like A Fool’ trundles along with staccato stabs, smooth stabs, crisp beats and luscious vocals, but it really shifts into top gear when the opulent pad drifts in. Elsewhere, ‘Needin’ You’ has a jaunty synth that’s underpinned by graceful washes and pads topped with a diva vocal, while ‘Feel The Heat’ has a smattering of sultry vocals with analogue synths and crisp beats. Completing the release are the darker ‘Walk Don’t Run’ and ‘Cave Dweller’, which is a jazz-tinged delight.
