Money $ex 06

For the latest instalment in their ongoing series of impressive EPs, Money Sex has turned to Smallville man Christopher Rau. Predictably, he delivers, serving up an EP that bristles with imagination and open-minded creativity. Contrast, for example, the hissing hip-hop beats and tumbling jazz samples of “Pay Attention Inwards”, with the ghetto house and hardcore-influenced thump of “I Hear”, which was written in collaboration with rising star Ron Wilson of 777 Recordings. Or, for that matter, the stuttering machine drums and shimmering music box melodies of “K4100 Jam”, and the drowsy, horizontally inclined downtempo deepness of closer “Flowermate”. Whatever way you look at it, Rau has served up an excellent EP.
