El Prevost b2b Doorly 'EP1' (Reptile Dysfunction)
Doorly’s amazingly named Reptile Dysfunction label brings us this off-the-wall collaboration from El Prevost and Doorly. This is part-Theo Parrish, part-Moodymann and part-Soul Clap with its authentic keys, piano chops, drum breaks and weird vocal samples (and something else which sounds like a dolphin). It’s a freaky track that’s not for every dancefloor but could be lethal if played at the right time. ‘Temper Mental’ is an angry, twisted house track which is then given a great remix by Lee Foss; it will take you by surprise when it goes off on one with bonkers synth stabs (and there’s also a handy ‘synthapella’ from Doorly, too).
