Falty DL - Mean Streets 2

The woody percussive swing that we've all come to love about Falty comes into focus on these three crystal clear productions for a new Ep on Swamp81. While 'Mean Streets Part 1' saw Falty dip into the latin brass, even salsa-esque swing, 'Part 2' exports the vibes to a more ambiguous exotic African landscape reminiscent of Fourt Tet's worldly groove. The rattling polyrhythms skittle over loungy chords occasionally joined by a four to the floor pulse bringing the track back to its garagey foundations. As Brian Eno once said 'Computer nerds are people who don't have enough Africa in them' and by that definition Falty is a very cool guy. His undeniable steeze is perhaps best displayed on 'Laid Back' the counterpoint to Part 1's 'Hard' and indeed, if that was hard, this is certainly laid back. The track surges on the sort of effortless sonic intuition that only Falty possesses. Its glistening vocals and crispy jazz edge make it a luxurious and mellifluous jam, to accompany a quietly masterful release from our main man Falty DL.
