Limited one-sided release. "After the overwhelming success of last year's singles 'India In Me' and 'Dump Truck,' the irrepressible Cobblestone Jazz present DMT as a taster in anticipation of their debut album. DMT was recorded while making the upcoming full length, however will not feature when the album drops later this year. It is a white label teaser, and the track's pulsing and imminent progression mimics the very purpose of its release. Cobblestone Jazz produce their tracks live, with a strong emphasis on improvisation, and the trio of programmer Tyger Dhula, keyboardists Danuel Tate and Mathew Jonson, make full use of their formative jazz training to transform the musical outfit into a pragmatic and responsive unit, a living and breathing creation, free of formulaic sequence. 'DMT' is a particularly good example of this, progressing with a confidence and purposefulness that borders on sensual mastery. Samples and trace sounds are revealed into the mix, weaving a hypnotic and infectious reverie that calculatingly refrains from climax. A display of power that is anything but vulgar, Cobblestone aren't showing us all their cards just yet. Magic.
