Outstrip – My Time

Label: ArtreformScore: 7/10

Vakula might well be the best-known producer from Ukraine, but for more than seven years now Outstrip has also been doing some mighty fine work. Here he serves up a brand new track that is percussive, playful and physical. As introductions go, this one is right up there with the best. 

My Time is the one original and it is a loopy, bumpy bit of house with sexual vocal coos and firmly rooted drums all bobbling about in loose-limbed fashion. A melodic breakdown comes midway though and when the thing drops again you just know floors will go wild. The Gwen Maze remix only subtly reworks things, upping the ante a little and layering in more sci fi melodies, ensuring both tracks will be of plenty of use to top DJs everywhere. Sure to be a hit with in-the-know house favouring tastemakers, it features a rough shell but a smooth interior that’ll ensure it goes down a treat wherever it’s allowed to fully flex its guns. All round sumptous fare from a label – and a man – that you’d do well to take note of.
