solid gold playaz: the black gold ep
Francisco Espregueira
Moods & Grooves unveils The Black Gold EP, a poignant tribute from The Solid Gold Playaz, a name synonymous with deep house excellence. Released in the wake of co-founder Kenny Gino's passing in 2021, this four-track collection, helmed by Mike Theus, embodies unity and soulful artistry. The EP, much like the label’s output, channels the spirit of Detroit, weaving lo-fi, dusty drums with undercooked synth lines and resonant bass. Each track, a testament to the duo's legacy, is enriched with smart samples, creating a sound that exudes both funk and timeless class.
The Black Gold EP is a continuation of a journey, a respectful nod to Kenny Gino's enduring influence. The Solid Gold Playaz, a beloved force in the house scene, deliver a sound that's both familiar and fresh. Moods & Grooves, known for its dedication to quality and soulful expression, provides the perfect platform for this release, ensuring that the Playaz' unique sound continues to resonate with listeners. Available on vinyl.
