about

Overshadowed by the Detroit-Chicago twin holiness, Atlanta also happens to be a well-furnished bastion for house and techno talents, amongst which the mighty Reggie Dokes (though no longer based out of the motor city) reigns as an ever inspirational spearhead. Landing next on our Fluid Funk platform, the Georgia transplant who’s made a name for himself throughout two plus decades of relentless floor activism, treats us to one of his signature blends of deep house mellow, sun-streaked island vibrations and jazzed-up, multi-instrumental boogie on his newest, "Detroit’s Linwood EP".

Nimbly walking the tightrope between solar-powered piano house and proper Latin-style swing, the eponymous lead-single "Detroit's Linwood" is a soft-spoken, broad-angle slab that combines the cream from typical Balearic guitar chords and Caribbean steelpan folk, all generously laid over a prismatic cascade of fevered syncopations and classic, yet time-proof 4x4 rhythmic phrasings. Hopscotching his way across alternated sequences of urban oneirism and wider postcard vistas, Dokes boasts a flexile touch that never ceases to amaze.

Same goes with the further playful "Water and Stone", a slice of out-there body music playing mind-games between Afro-tribalism and Easternmost sensibilities, all the while stretching out into loungey hedonism and futuristic funk with equal panache.

Final number "Show Me" operates a more blatantly forward-facing type of electronic aesthetic and steady, chugging club dynamics, casting its net somewhere between pop-infused house and elements of cutting-edge abstraction, laced with a fun-loving, P-funk-style twist that’ll slap a smile on your face every time you press play.
