Damar Davis joins the Fat Beats roster for a self-titled small but special 4-track EP - a sonic journey through the vibrant landscape of modern West Coast house music. The EP blends textures of analogue warmth, crunchy kicks, smooth bass lines, and clean synth chords with sensual vocal samples. It's a testament to Davis's skill as both a producer and curator, as he expertly guides listeners through a dancefloor experience that is exhilarating and hypnotic.
With each track, Damar Davis showcases a keen understanding of the dancefloor's pulse, building and releasing tension in a way that keeps us on our toes. In a way, the evolution of LA house music, with a myriad of influences contributing, is well expressed in this project - with Davis infusing each composition with beautifully composed jazz chords, layered drum loops, and rolling basslines that beckon you to move. In just a few tracks, Damar Davis captures that essence that makes West Coast house music a burgeoning movement, while offering the listeners a tantalizing glimpse into the future of the genre. Cortesy of fat Beats, Damar Davis is available on vinyl.
