Rogue Cherub

The Greek all-rounder Mr. Statik debuts as a producer on Away. Starting off with an ingenious medley assembled through samples, rhythmic elements, and a funk-infused bass-line, Rogue Cherub EP highlights the Greek's unordinary approach to house music. Despite the partly broken, partly playful vibe, it's Dave Aju's distinctive voice holding everything together in a serene fashion. No less than the acknowledged master Matthew Herbert himself scales the hybrid down, attaching just the right disco-house touches to create yet another dancefloor gem. "Morning Star" tops off Away's fifth catalog number by a well-crafted techno-meets-dub workout.
