The first lady of Klasse Recordings returns after her stunning debut hit the shelves early last year. Johanna Knutsson\'s second release for Klasse runs a little deeper than the first, showing another mood and style altogether....the release features remixes from Sacha Robotti and Esther Duijn (Duijn & Douglas).
Groove Support builds foundations from a skippy beat and deep pads, with vocal phrases and a solid bassline. The track evolves into a breakdown and returns with piano stabs and added percussion, pushing the energy forward until a final breakdown with extra rhodes stabs comes into play.
Sacha Robotti takes Groove Support down a different path, taking the pads and working them out with FX and techy percussion. Mr. Robotti finesses the track with his trademark reverb patterns and builds the track to a storming bassline breakdown....this is easily one of Sacha\'s finest pieces of work.
Dub Support on the flip is a darker and dubbier trip through Johanna\'s style, 808 and 909 drums fight for space over an angry bassline whilst steel drums and masked FX provide the atmosphere.
Dutch producer Esther Duijn (Dujin & Douglas) turns in a remix of Dub Support that sounds like it has been submersed deep underwater. The track saunters along slowly, making great use of filtered synth lines and swirling percussion, making for a more laidback interpretation.
We hope you enjoy this release...
