It has become increasingly difficult to second-guess Alex 'Omar' Smith. Where once we knew what we'd get - hypnotic and high-grade Motor City deep house - in recent years he's successfully expanded his musical palette whilst retaining the core elements of his trademark sound.
So, what can we expect from his latest four-tracker? A real mixed bag of goodness, that's what! So while title track 'Come On Claire Reese' wraps crystalline, freestyle-influenced synthesiser melodies and echoing syn-toms around a sequenced disco bassline and metronomic house beats, the cut that follows, 'Packer Beats', is a sleazy, noise-encrusted and heavily effects-laden drum machine workout. Similarly, flip-side opener 'Right Now' builds a down-low house jam around samples from an old blues recording, while 'Yeearrs' is a slow build, filter-heavy DJ tool crafted from wide-eyed and ear-catching samples.
