Beriza LP by Gavinco
Returning to continue Shall Not Fade’s Season Series with a second LP, Joe Newham serves up harmonious and glimmering jazz infusions under his Gavinco moniker. The Brighton-based producer saw success with his Dumont LP earlier this year, and fans will recognise his smooth composition immediately on Beriza.
‘West Horizon’ begins the record, an expansive slow burner with haunting vocals, leaving room for a club beat that sets the tone going forward. Field recordings feature prominently on the title track, a laid back style which evokes tropical heat and lazy evenings, easing you into ‘Savoy’s dance floor grooves complemented by syncopated hand percussion. Hints of sax and strings provide the ear candy on ‘Momento’, a gentle poolside jazz exploration. ‘Like This’ is punchier, tight funk riffs contrasting discordant piano bits which swirl to an uptempo rhythm. ‘Creative Times’ centres its flute melodies while the rumble of sub bass slowly swells into a perfect pairing of dance music and jazz. The closing track continues this energy. Hypnotic sax solos and sparkling piano arps take the record to a hazey, housey end.
Beriza LP drops 19th November via Shall Not Fade.
