hanna: game, set & match ep
Francisco Espregueira
Hanna (real name Warren Harris), the Cleveland-bred multi-talent, delivered another super nice record in the amazing Vibes And Pepper imprint with Game, Set & Match EP - a five-track exploration of soulful sonic landscapes. The EP presents a compelling duality: its A-side revisits two previously released gems, "Omnipotence" and "The Dark," showcasing Harris's signature blend of future jazz, broken beat, and deep house, woven into intricate and captivating arrangements. These tracks are a testament to his ability to craft grooves that are both sophisticated and deeply emotive.
The flip side of the record unveils three fresh cuts, each a testament to Harris's sonic artistry. "His Eyes (Detroit remix)" immediately captivates via a mesmerizing groove and soulful melodies transporting listeners to the heart of Motor City. "Menace" offers a stark contrast, delving into darker territory with a brooding bassline and haunting chords that evoke a palpable sense of unease. "Spirit Logical" provides a vibrant closing statement, its uplifting melodies and complex rhythms showcasing the full spectrum of Harris's production prowess. With Game, Set & Match EP, Hanna reaffirms his position as a producer of exceptional vision and skill. Available on vinyl.
