'House is the Religion, and the DJ is my Deacon, but the music is my God" says the evangelical vocal on title track 'Jack Sermon'. Never has there been a more aptly named track... This is a jack sermon... an OG inspired Chi town cut channeling early house music's soulful beginnings delivered with straight up jacking house beat offset with laidback dusty dub chords... We don't say this lightly, but we're calling anthem on this one. 'Scat Pack' takes a more percussive and drum forward house motif. Thunderous kicks tease techno but this is still house, NYC at heart, complete with voguing diva vocals. Blown out and choppy we could say 'this could have been ripped from a late 90's club recording on a lost tape' but that would do disservice to the precise but invisible fusion that's been laid down here... 'Funk to Berlin' opens the flip side and in Bangura's journey to explore classic forms of house and techno, this track may well have taken root from dub techno pioneers from the past. Deep dub chords and deeper subs lead the track but that jacking percussion makes this more than homage. Machine funk, machine soul. 'The Green Line' closes out the EP in style.. rolling it out with skittering synths that work like percussion, ethereal pads, and a faint vocal 'Chicago' spiraling into itself, making this track one you can get lost in. Some might argue that this one is techno, but who cares. It's the journey not the destination. Two tickets please.
