Humble B Flat - Indigo Blues
This 2x LP package of proper, deep house by Zinnia Records is sublime, impactful, blissful, and functional. From dub cuts like ‘Egyptian Queen’, to piano workouts in ‘Overcome’, this is equal parts a great home listening album for a coffee session, but also a highly functional DJ tool thanks to its 2 tracks per side cutting and beefy, straightforward production quality.
‘Turquoise Dreams’ leans into jazz territory with a popping bass and horns, ‘Daoud’ whips up a dubbed-out conga frenzy, and standout track ‘Velvet Green’ takes Detroit-esque basslines and pads into a driving, focused track. ‘Navy Darkness’ continues the vibe with skippy drums, finger clicks, and dystopian distorted basslines.
‘Centro Walk and Skank’ is a feel-good excursion through playful house, and LP closer ‘Sweet Sweetness’ drops into dreamy, luscious pads over keys and shakers.
