L.I.E.S. · Ron Morelli-Escapes (LIES-202) LIES-202 Ron Morelli-RHYTHM MASTER LP A1. Downtown Trick A2. Jackin + Laughin A3. Call Center Beats B1. Disco Gridlock B2. Loose Screw B3. Escapes L.I.E.S. boss, Ron Morelli follows up his acclaimed "Heart Stopper" lp with a new six track mini lp, RM "Rhythm Master" The six tracks on "Rhythm Master" focus on a departure from the more song based structures of "Heart Stopper," presenting a series of raw "old style" beat tracks for the DJs to use and abuse as they see fit, although these tracks are not as cut and dry as the title may imply. Check the complex, jacking, drum programming of the Fingers inspired "Loose Screw" or absolute melodic deep house mastery on the closing track "Escapes." and the late nite mix show drama of "Disco Gridlock" with its monstrous reverb drenched kick opening the b-side. All of these standing on their own and all of them displaying Morelli's versatility as a producer in his ability to pinpoint and execute the many styles that made djs what they were back in the days. Essential!
