Jay Haze – The Mulatar House – (Soul Clap Records)

Yet another hotshot from the label this time with Jay Haze at the controls with the refreshingly musical, ‘Take A Dip’ inviting you to jump straight in. Punchy beats combine with sassy chords and suggestive guitar while the addition of meandering electric piano enhances the full effect – just add sunshine. The bluesy, ‘Mulatar House’ provides a tougher outlook with its rough, strung-out guitar playing across curious drums, while keeping you wondering where it’s all going. The excellent ‘Peru Berlin Connection’ finishes with shuffling drums plus Jazzy, uplifting chord structures all via a suitable twist, of course
