San Francisco's Triple Five Sol, aka Johnny Five and Vin Sol, drop this new five-track EP of raw, jacking house and in doing so channel proper 80s Chicago and New York vibes. Born from jam sessions in a makeshift home studio, having first hooked up in New Orleans, the duo crafts analogue rawness with chunky beats and minimalist bleeps reminiscent of definitive US labels like Nu Groove and Gherkin. Tracks like 'Boxxx That Rocks,' 'Just a Freak' and 'Everybody Loves Triple Five Sol' deliver gritty, futuristic energy and in contrast, 'Gonna Get Got' and 'Halfway Home' glide with soulful garage grooves. Packaged in Primo Pitino's vibrant retro design, this one is brilliantly authentic and refreshingly unconventional.
