Sassy EP by O. de Lanzac

Congo-born, Greek-raised, and now London-based O. de Lanzac was part of the Quad Throw Salchow band with tunes on labels like DFA. She has dropped solo works on BBE and Underground Collective Tek and produced some tracks and an album on Tony Carrasco's label Multitronix where she always mixes up Latin, funk, and downtempo. She has been busy with new music on Open Bar Music, Nervous Records, and AtJazz this year.

Opener "Sassy" is a deep, heavy Afro-house track embellished with shakers, distant vocal wails, and soulful pads. It's sparse yet atmospheric and a subtle late-night track to hypnotize a dance floor. "Log" is less firmly rooted to the floor, with more lively drum patterns and open-air atmospheres from bird calls and tribal percussion. It's cinematic in design and has a beautifully natural-sounding groove that places you amongst the flora and fauna of a steamy jungle.

These are two tastefully designed Afro-house sounds from the inimitable O. de Lanzac.
