Crossover
DJ Manny, the reigning king of sensuous footwork music brings us Crossover, his brand new digi single of hyper ethereal glory. A mastermind of meshing lush R&B auras with perplexing percussion as heard on his recent Signals in My Head album, here he plays with similar soothing chord progressions, but takes them in a more eerie rather than elegant direction. Serene, rather minimal sections of bass and synth and intermittent battle breakdowns are tied together by a gritty, serpentine lead that perfectly creeps through the track. One minute you’re suspended in animation, the next you’re in a wormhole. This wonderful bending of time and space is what footwork is all about, and Manny does it masterfully every time he touches the keys or the drum pads.
