SECT – Man of Wisdom | Single Review

Saturday, May 8th, 2010 | Single Review

SECT is an acronym for the new Boston based super DJ crew made up of Soul Clap of Wolf and Lamb fame, Tanner Ross of Dirtybird and Mothership fame, and their mate Sergio Santos who’s making his own way up through the ranks. They’ve recently been rattling around their parent’s basements coming up with new material that fuses their collective styles together.

With their first release on LA based label Culprit you can get a feel of everyone in the mix. The release is made up of three slow deep house tracks that have that trademark Soul Clap soulfulness combined with the Ross and Santos’ Dirtybird hypnotism. On the A-side track ‘Man of Wisdom’ the low slung grooves and snake charmer-esque horn sample is a recognisable Soul Clap trait, whilst the gently jacking beats are reminiscent of the Dirtybird fidget sound slowed down. Combined together Man of Widsom is a moody track that unfolds at its own comfortable pace to reveal the infectious horn sample.

On the B-side ‘Hi-Fi All’ is another deep, slow burner. The lo-fi bassline, retro drums and vocal snippet give it a soulful Miami Vice sheen which gives it plenty of warmth and plenty of chic wiggle factor. Whilst second B-Side track SECTsy leans more towards the Ross/Santos sound with its muted percussion, spatial production and hypnotic fidget. Collectively they’ve brought together three great twilight tracks that are warm and hypnotic.
