The fourth release from boutique Berlin label Odd Socks is the first ‘various artists’ release, and marks the beginning of a series titled ‘Trips & Trinkets’. Four tracks are on offer, the first coming from Berlin based Josh T who returns to the label after the ‘Fresno/Yuuki’ twelve inch which marked its first release. He teams up with Arkist for some slow motion electronic funk for the the track ‘Fleabag’, which has been eagerly sought since the Bristol based producer posted on his soundcloud some months ago. AD Bourke is next with the warmly laconic sunday afternoon feel of ‘Water Sign’, and Leeds based Thomas TMS contributes his nicely measured debut release with the twisting and twinkling ‘Individualism’, while Saine rounds things off with some steady cinematic soundscapes. A very strong release definitely worth a further look, it’s available on vinyl or digital.
