Strategy – World House

Glorious first release on what promises to be a truly intriguing imprint, nurtured and curated by Portland, Oregonís Paul Dickow, better know as Strategy (Kranky, Shockout, Tigerbeat 6). For this first release Strategy himself brings us two humid deep-dub-house-punk-disco jams. OnìWorld houseî King Sunny Ade and Arthur Russell meet King Tubby and DFA uptown in Chicago 1987..with that feisty “Cascadian Magic.” Experimental dance/dub music for those who love it when things get messy. ìWorld Houseî is a whirlwind of tabla, guitar & bass, house claps with an electric piano lead, one of the sharpest and most distinctive record for true house music lovers in an age.ìI Have To Do This Thingî is almost a Detroit house tribute complete with sentimental pads, a heavy vibe, a solidly lower tempo and an ominous bassline, all mixed with experimental generative percussion patches.
