A label
many downtempo fans are familiar with, Cold Busted is back with a new
album, using their standing to release music from a mysterious artist
from a distant locale. The Sketches Of Scratches album is the second
release on the label for Eddie Shinn, a 20 year old artist from
Ulyanovsk, Russia. That’s about all the information available on the
young producer and that’s okay because the music can speak for itself.
The mantra for this release is dusty downtempo cuts with so much soul
and melodic application of the ‘scratches’ hinted at in the title.
The album contains many highlights. Classy pianos, keys, and brass with plenty of drum rolls, make the breezy “Disco Stu” a great sign of what’s to come. A sort of funk fusion, “Far and Away” is much more cut up with bursts of beat repeats and some great use of samples and sound effects. “Dead Night" features a lazy, low-down disco vibe with stuttering vocal bits. Coming through with an infectious breakbeat and party ready cheers, “Look Like” could beckon even the most discerning dancers to get up and get down. “Work All Night And All Day” and “Next Point” both use horns to differing effect, while at the same time continuing to carry the tone of the album. Eddie Shinn’s The Sketches Of Scratches puts Ulyanovsk solidly on the Cold Busted map, seducing global headz with its infectious ‘Volga beats.’
