Ready and waiting for the world to reopen, Clarisse bring together a quintet of high quality house crews and grooves for ‘Volume 4’. Lead by main man Mendo, the five globally-sourced tracks pack the attitude of what the label has long been renowned for, keen to get straight down to business while unlocking layers of individuality with each listen. With the bumpy ride of ‘What You Think’, Mendo leads by example and design with intensely athletic bass-lead beats and deep techno cycles skimming the surface. Diva vocals sprinkle a touch of sweetness on top of a typically uncompromising outing from Clarisse’s commander in chief. Julian Collazos and Aguilar (Italy)’s ‘Salento’ stirs up Clarisse’s coveted ingredients with a chiselled torso of a track - the bass thick enough to dive into. Podium-perched samples, chugging rhythms bubbling under and machine gun drum rolls guarantee the dancefloor stays free of statues. Bringing boasts to the booth is BizZa announcing ‘I Don’t Give a Sh!t’. Another wall of bass is the springboard for sucking you into the centre of dancefloor traffic, flecks and fragments pinging off the controls as the Spaniard’s game face and gangster boogie remains fixed throughout. Ambient frequencies circle the subtle promises of Jenna Evans on vocals - the cryptic ‘Can I Make Feel You?’ is just the sort of question the artwork of ‘Volume 4’ was made for. The swing and sway of producers Rowhle, Luca Cucullo and Sebastian Carreras effortlessly push high voltages through headphones - deep, funky, sincere and fully charged all at once. A game of funky bassline dodgeball locks onto the twisted strings and club cool belonging to NYC hip-hop royalty, showing Slugg to be no slouch on ‘Bounce Wit Me’, that trebly lick lending a touch of leftfield to a sweat-stoking groove straight outta Florida.
