Last week I was browsing some old Tim Sweeney, of DFA fame, mix sets and stumbled upon this one together with Soft Rocks. Enchanted by this dark african groove in one of the songs I tried to find the track by the track list and suffice it to say it wasn’t easy when it wasn’t even spelled correctly. After a few hours of searching it turned out to belong to the arsenal of Innervision in their the second “Secret Weapon” release in 2008.

Don’t be fooled by my labeling of the next tune as afro house. It’s also a “Secret Weapon” released a few weeks ago and marks a really nice experimental track.

It is quite remarkable how Maya Angelou’s Pulitzer prize nominated poem Phenomenal Woman synergizes with Seth’s low-groove detroit inspired synth work. Certainly phenomenal and if last year didn’t give a fair measure of Seth’s prodigal genius then this year certainly will.

If you were ever to ask me what post-minimal sounds like I would no doubt present you this little new hand craft by the Romanian up-and-coming star.
