The Lobbyist

Woof! Lovefingers clearly has more music pencilled in for release on ESP Institute than he knows what to do with it! The latest 12″ of a supremely busy 2016 sees the LA label seek out the refined house music sculpting talents of Frankfurt’s Benedikt Frey, a producer who has been quite active himself over the past 12 months or so. Some three tracks deep, The Lobbyist offers a nice overview of Frey’s talents as a producer with the title track a foray into stomping, unpredictable techno tension replete with some strange vocals reminiscent of Phil Daniels’ turn in Blur track “Parklife”. Fellow Frankfurtite TCB colludes on the heat-treated, murky house cut “Cupids Delight” whilst closer “Gravel” is a loose percussive number that eases down the intensity levels to ‘factor: breeze’.
