Clipp Art is no stranger to ADSR as we have reviewed tracks from Computer Data and Tekkla in the past on the Melbourne-based house label. Clipp Art is well know for delivering up-front, emotive, groove based house music that focuses on 90s’ aesthetics. In doing so giving us a familiar foundation of sound that still resonates with us today.
Sandrio’s ‘Crisis’ is no different. It knows what it is. There is a reason why the magical combination of 120bpm kick drums, crisp snares, dreamy Rhodes and lavish synths still persists today. It is a genre that has been a constant since the 90s, really it never went out of fashion. Largely because this particular approach to music is based entirely on feeling. If you think about other genres that hold the same appeal: 90s Hip-Hop, Classic Rock, Jazz, Motown, Disco… they all have an honest direction basing their sound on being present in the moment , transcendent through masterful instrumentation, and infectious grooves played or sampled. These are basic, feel-good elements that we naturally crave, and for that reason, tracks like ‘Crisis’ will still hold their value in a musical culture that hops and skips from a new trend and fad every few months. Deep house is modern day Motown and if you want to listen to something with an infectious groove, lush melodies, elevating vocals and, most importantly, something with a lot of soul then look no further than “Crisis’ because it has it all of the above in spades.
