• Aybee – no friction
• Aybee – ether
• Aybee – kommands

• 1. no friction
• 2. ether
• 3. kommands

Spiritual, inward-looking house dug up from the bottom of deepness by Aybee, Underground Quality star and Deepblak boss.

The two track A-side mines meditative, repetitive US house: 'No Friction' concentrates on slowly bubbling subs and filtered, drifting keys for a 6 minute head trip, while 'Ether' comes with Basic Channel-style dub chords and shuffling percussion.

Pick of the bunch 'Kommands' ups the ante, showing the kind of bassline tricks Aybee pulled out on last year's mind blowing 12" for Further records - quick-moving, distorted bass hits under swerving pads and cosmic electronics, with a stuttering, stepping drum pattern running against the 4/4, building up tense momentum into a gently euphoric release two-thirds of the way through.
