A raft of influences that include UK
progressive giants, Pink Floyd, and Argentinean rock acts Patricio Rey and
Redonditos de Ricota, vie for attention amongst the myriad electronic
tastemakers including Sasha, Digweed and legendary fellow countryman Hernan
Cattaneo. Moreover, not content with merely citing such heavyweights
influences, Some Little Things have found themselves sharing the DJ booth with
such celebrated company as SoundExile, Roger Martinez and Guy Mantzur.
A fledgling production career that began midway
through 2014 with the debut “Lines” on Sindor Records, has subsequently seen a clutch
of impressive releases hit high profile imprints including Dopamine, Clinique
and Tim Penner’s Slideways. Furthermore, the appearance of “Carnival” including
a remix from Cattaneo and SoundExile on Hope Recordings’ “Never Get Out of the
Boat” sampler, set another high benchmark.
Debuting on Suffused Music with “Rhinobass”
Some Little Things provide further illustration of their rise to the upper
echelons of underground dance music. “Doris” opens the EP with a huge resonant
bass line that bounces across the lower frequency spectrum accompanied by a
fizzing, ticking percussive rhythmic line and soaring white noise effects. A
rolling tom groove comes to the fore from the mid point onwards as an
acid-tinged lead line makes its presence felt in menacing fashion.
The intriguingly titled “Elena de Rumania”
follows, supplying a similar flair for rhythmic sensibility. Evolving
effortlessly throughout its eight-minute journey, parallels with electronic
giants, Leftfield, are not misplaced as a collage of melodic riffs and
arpeggios entwine atop a dominant beat to mesmerising effect. An exquisite key
change heightens anticipation before a breakdown full of melodic poise leaves
the way clear for gentle rhythms to hold sway once more.
Title track “Rhinobass” brings the story to
a close with a carefully constructed work that epitomises Some Little Things’
penchant for progressive sounds carefully interlaced with a thoroughly modern
house vibe. Metronomic in rhythm and effects, the track elicits an exhilarating
edge through its use of sumptuous octave pitched arpeggios and textured pad
sounds. The resultant effect is a work that is as likely to appeal over
headphones as it is in the clubs of their native Argentina and beyond.
A musical vignette of impressive proportions,
Some Little Things are sure to lead a charge with the
heavyweight “Rhinobass”.
