Trickski, Lost Jams

Jerome Derradji’s off-shoot label from Still Music continues to hit all the right buttons for lovers of pure unadulterated house, adding German duo Trickski to their list of contributors with number nineteen in the “Lost Jams” series. Yannick Labbé and Daniel Becker have certainly done their homework for this release, crafting two stunning tracks steeped in the feeling of Chicago and Detroit house that are made all the more impressive considering their regular musical ethos. Check one of their Sonar Kollektiv releases over the past few years and you’ll find a mechanical edge to their music, an almost robotic brashness when stacked up against the two cuts they proffer here on “Lost Jams.” These two tracks, collected on anonymous blacked out vinyl, evoke such a feeling of classic house you’ll be scratching your head asking yourself where you’ve heard them before, pondering whether the vocals are culled from some dusty old half forgotten track from the murky reaches of another time. In that sense what we’re dealing with here is undoubtedly derivative, but then the whole purpose of Stilove4music is to collate such classic sounding records suffused with the heritage to which they pay tribute.
