4th Sign 'Eloge De Lenteur Part Two' (Ondulé)
4th Sign, the collaborative project from Joss Moog and Around7, release the second part of their ‘Eloge De Lenteur’ EP on French label Ondulé. The pair are united by a shared passion for original samples and genuine loops, and pool their knowledge to produce some damn fine groovers which have previously found favour with Mark Farina, Groove Armada, Harri and Severino. Here, they don’t stick to just one style or BPM; instead they touch on Hotel Costes-style lounge-lizard house on ‘The Movement’, while ‘No Trouble No Men’ is a piano-led jam and ‘Deep Dip’ is warm-up fodder. Elsewhere, ‘The Right Colour’ leans heavily on a guitar loop that eventually breaks into an easy-listening hook. ‘Hot Saucisse’, the most familiar-sounding lick, comes next, before ‘Lunatique’ closes the EP with a sound that’s similar to the halfway house of The Revenge, Ooft! and Behling & Simpson.
