Francisco Espregueira
Rob Redford steps onto the scene at Boogie Cafe Records with his debut release, a deepness opus titled 614 EP, building on the success of his previous collaborative work with Sy Sez on Raising Records and To the Rock. Boogie Cafe discovered Rob through his X-TRAX projects, sparking a connection that led to the creation of this cool release.
The 614 EP is a deep house masterclass, echoing the soulful sounds of Detroit and Chicago, paying homage to legends like Glen Underground, Ron Trent, and the late Mike Huckaby. In tracks like "Makin Ends Meet" and "We Will Be Here," Rob Redford skillfully blends melodic chords, bouncy basslines, and crisp drums, creating a sonic journey enriched with emotive spoken vocals. The EP's standout, "Factory 2659," transports listeners to early '90s Chicago, evoking the spirit of Glenn Underground with a contemporary twist. Closing the EP, "Rain in July" offers a nod to the early 2000s, infusing a distinctive West London broken vibe. Rob Redford's 614 EP is a testament to his prowess in navigating the intricate realms of deep house. Available on Bandcamp, courtesy of Boogie Cafe Records.
