Tel Aviv-based producer Shimi Sonic has his Hot Peach EP out on Riddim Fruit in a matter of days. ‘Hot peach’ sounds vaguely rude to me. Mind you, Shimi Sonic sounds like a Manga superhero and even Tel Aviv sounds a little bit like the name of a used car salesman – “You know Tel! Tel Aviv! He’s got that lockup down under the arches!”. Anyway – that’s all so much idle fuzz. Let’s peel it back and have a look at the juicy flesh beneath. How about a big orchestral flute-horns-n-breaks-based title track followed up by some hectic ragga breaks, some crunchy blues breaks, and a soaring indie-rock tinged closer yeah? What you might call unimpeachable content…
(Out 9 October on Riddim Fruit)
