Been playing the shit out of this album ever since it came out, and I'm not even much into Jazzanova's Sonar Kollektiv. Not sure what it is about Dimlite, but definitely something to investigate. Being a rather well-mined genre lately, "hiptronica" seems hard to make impressive at this point; still, new producers regularly pop in and make it worth following. Dmitri Grimm's cred is well established with another LP last year plus a handful of 12"s for the same label, and you'd be surprised how rounded and mature his sound got already. Sometimes abrasive, other times gorgeous, it's thouroughly dense and screams quality all over. Vocal guests Gaby Hernandez (Build and Ark/The Life Force Trio) and Buddy Leezle (215/TFK). Congrats for putting out something fresh, accomplished, and not overblown. Headphone candy...
