Eindhoven born Geert Schilder aka Immer has honed in on a raw, intricate sound over the past few years and has recently signed releases to the likes of Shewolf Music and his hometown based Klopfgeist, alongside the likes of Homepark,
Estroe,
Shaun Reeves and Boris Werner, positioning Immer as a strong purveyor
of underground house music.
Schilder returns to Fullbarr here following his remix of Hans Berg’s ‘Machines’, The now Leeds based imprint has made a heavy impact as of late releasing projects from Luke Solomon, LoSoul, Vince Watson and Kalabrese.
The
release opens with ‘Quite Baked’, a stripped, low-slung cut that
embraces loose, swung drums and rolling low-end rumbles. The record
adapts to a simplistic hooky structure that allows subtle
transitional periods to keep things captivating,
infusing
a blend of gritty elements that gleam with analogue sparkles and
warmth, resulting in a tasteful slice of rough and ready house music.
Next
up is ‘As Ol’Ways’, taking things in a deeper direction with
smooth Rhodes chords driving the melodic movement.
Immer
implants his signature shuffled drum patterns on the track with
methodical variations and retractions worked into the layout to
ensure an evolving feel throughout. The latter stages introduce
resonant filter sweeps; reverb bursts and
minute
delays into the background depths further showing Immer’s ability
to push the boundaries of creativity in his productions.
‘Lovely
Balance’ follows, a percussive, groove led cut that’s built upon
solid drum sounds and a cleverly sampled organ bass hook. Geert’s
less-is-more approach takes the reins here, applying a fusion of
hats, rim shots and claps to build the
bigger
picture, the track builds to a peak where everything becomes filtered
and lo-fi before reverting back to the punchy rhythm and riding out
the rest of the track, simple yet contrastingly intricate at the same
time. Immer delivers stylish house
music
once again.
Closing
the release is Detroit born Kris Wadsworth with his ‘Guess Who
Remix’ of ‘As Ol’Ways’. Kris is notably known for
his
work with Hypercolour, NRK and Get Physical. Here he employs his
signature sound to ‘As Ol’Ways’ creating shuffling,
raw
house with his trademark hooky synth stabs, scratchy chorus and
filter modulations creep in throughout its duration
