Spec
Wet Socks // Lost Uprise Audio UA039
Release date: 28th Feb 2020
Spec, hailing from New Zealand is
one of Uprise Audio’s original team
members. Over the past seven years he’s dropped some huge releases on the imprint and this one might just be his best yet. Both tracks vary from each other vastly, but compliment each other perfectly for the release, with the dance floor in mind and complete focus on having as much impact as possible. Both tunes are very much anticipated and have been on rotation in some high profile sets and radio shows. Spec never fails to impress with his out of the box approach in his music and this is a shining example of just how varied and versatile his works are.
‘Wet Socks’ has a serious attitude and its suspenseful horned laden intro lays down dirty foundations ready for the chest pounding bass and lashing beats which follow.
‘Lost’ is a whole different beast. Its time signature is puzzling and it takes a moment to work out its mechanics. The swing on beats and throbbing bass completely dictate the way everything shuffles together and in such effortless fashion, sounding like it’s playing slower than its actual tempo of 140bpm.
