Tokyo’s “kez ym’s” follow-up to his maiden yore ep, city soul, opts for a more pronounced party vibe, as evidenced by the plenitude of voices that repeatedly pop up during butterfly’s four deep house tracks. the material sounds of japanese producer kazuki yamaguchi puts a clubby spirit to this ep. propelled by a beautifully warm and soulful bass pulse, “inner city funk” grooves mightily for five blissful minutes, its rhythm bolstered by the crisp snap of the snare, the funky wah-wah of an electric guitar, and the occasional interjection of a synthesizer melody. “bridge to bridge” quickly charts its own percolating course with the addition of a stepping disco-house pulse and a male voice’s sleepy, off-handed musings. bringing the lights down for a romantic make-out session, the sexy “low tide” chills the pace slightly so that spent dancers can catch their breath and replenish themselves before the next go-round. of the four tracks, the title cut grooves most powerfully in merging a rambunctious broken beat drum attack with an equally driving bass line and manic electric guitar soloing. play these jams loud.
