Aybee
Worlds
Aybee returns unveiling 'Worlds' his second album on Deepblak. Here we embark on cross-dimensional travels into rhythm as Aybee dives headfirst into sonic landscapes. 'Worlds' fuses elements of the cosmic, and the deep. There are just about enough beats and recognisable percussive sounds for Worlds to be loosely called deep house, but claps certainly don't sit on the two and the four, and in fact regimented twos and fours hardly exist at all. So awesomely spacious are efforts like the floating intergalactic bump of "Landing" that it's as if they have no outer edge whatsoever. On "What Is," beautifully splashy claps ring out into an empty abyss with only dangling melodic droplets for company. There's also a scuffed, stuttering kick drum but it doesn't anchor you, instead acting like a propeller, steering you further through the unknown.
