Description
Greg Paulus joins forces with fellow Brooklynite Taylor Bense for a new Freerange EP showcasing their left field, raw house sounds across three original tracks plus a bonus Martinez Brothers edit. With previous releases appearing on labels as diverse as Soul Clap, Lets Play House, Ghostly International and Kompakt, the producer, DJ and trumpeter is perhaps best known for being one half of No Regular Play who have recorded LPs and EPs for Wolf & Lamb, Crew Love, and Lets Play House. Never one to be confined to one genre, Greg takes influence from Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop and underground house to form a unique sound primed for discerning dance floors. Taylor Bense is an in-house composer and producer at the highly regarded Hyperballad Studios in Brooklyn, where he works and records a wide spectrum of music for – everything from high end commercial work to EPs for Wolf + Lamb and Soul Clap Records. The entire EP was recorded and produced at Hyperballad Studios over the past few years.
Title track Heat Make Sense wears its Prince inspiration on its sleeve
with a hooky whistled tune, crunchy live bass fills and punchy, raw beats.
Next up we have Switch which features Brooklyn MCsStimulus and Malik Work on vocal duties and Gregs own trumpet adding top lines to the deep pads and rolling groove.
Marino takes us back to golden era jacking Chicago house of the 00s but with Gregs trumpet flourishes bringing a live, jazzy energy to the track. Fellow NYC mainstay Big $exy provides his trademark deep baritone vocal to give a little hip house flavour.
Closing out the EP we have NYCs Martinez Brothers providing an uptempo minimal edit of Do You Love Me, a track from Gregs previous Freerange EP. The MBs keep things rolling and stripped back for maximum club impact creating a useful DJ tool whilst allowing Gregs musical and vocal parts to shine.
