Private Eyes

Private Eyes is the work of Toronto-based Tomas Jirku and Robin Judge, and it is their fourth release on Onitor. The music on Private Eyes occupies the space between dance floor and listening music. There is a definite balance between the two worlds, yet at times it delves deep into either one or the other. In their musical experiments, intricate rhythms are woven together into a unique style that is equally comfortable in exploring playful ambience as it is making excursions into swinging percussive funk. Bouncing clicks, tonal techno thuds, and minimal beats cleanly combine with small melodic tones and deep growls to create a satisfyingly old-school experience. Onitor. 2006.
