Dick Johnson – Hello / Baby Talk [Play It Down]
First of all, I love the name. Dick Johnson, way to play the system of artist naming. It’s like when you bypass the bad word filters on xbox live but everyone knows what you mean. So props for that. One could say it’s quite a ballsy maneuver but whatever works really.
But as for the music, this is one groovy deep house EP. Both tracks are superbly produced, and feature beautiful chords and synths. The bell-like synths overtop “Hello” give the track a very interesting feel, and I liked how the bass continued to push the energy forwards as well. Meanwhile, Baby Talk is a bit darker but still has absolutely wonderful synths. The way they pop out from underneath the bass-line is quite unique and gives the track a bit more emphasis on the groove. Buy this EP.
