following up his two foundsound eps, foundsound's own ben parris drops his debut net release on unfoundsound, titled english dictionary ep -- a five-track masterpiece featuring remixes by seph and seth troxler feat. john clees. the ep commences with "desktop willage" -- a deep, quirky, sub-bassy afterhours gem with playful field recordings and a solid groove. then you get "breakfast for thorialanus" -- a clunky, unsettling collage with a chugging groove fueled by goofy sine waves and gritty found sounds that'll drive your dancing body into psychotropic oblivion. thirdly, you get "chris needs a nickname" -- a minimal dancefloor burner that slowly builds as the track progresses, while boinking with circus-like quirkiness, shuffly percussion, and a splattering mess of found sounds and effects. then detroit's seth troxler alongside john clees transform "breakfast for thorialanus" into a deep, heady, gut-wrenching afterhours number fueled by a low, sinister speaking voice, profound synth-sweeps, and a shuffly, gentle groove. the ep ends with a rework of "chris needs a nickname" courtesy of seph from buenos aires -- transforming it into a funky minimal breakbeat jammy-jam driven by water drop-like percussion, tasteful reverbs, an alluring breakdown and a wah-wah-wonderful electro-style bassline. eat it all up, and never ever poop it out. ever! !
