The Mole - One Foot On Either Side.. - 12" Vinyl

Originally released in 2005. True to his name, the Montreal DJ and producer known as The Mole burrows deep into his material, digging dirty furrows in layer after layer of musical substrata -- disco, house, soul, acid, minimal techno -- that have been building up for decades. With his own signature sound of impossibly deep bass, gritty loops, battered vocal hooks, and psychedelic filtering, One Foot On Either Side of the Ladder brings his method to life on vinyl, igniting a slow-burning firestorm of funk across four dirty disco tracks. These are gloriously messy mountains of loops cut with deft edits, diamond-sharp drums, and biodegraded soul vocals that rise phoenix-like from the ashen soil. Are you picking up what he's pushing up?
