Track of the Moment- Maze by Actress

Minimal electronic music gets a lot of undeserved crap. Sure you can’t dance to it, get over it, you’re not supposed to. Anyway in case you didn’t see where I was going with this today’s track of the moment is a minimal electronic song, a tune from the excellent first album by Actress. Actress is very good at taking elements from various dance, house, and disco brands of electronic music and stripping them down, making them his own, and then reinventing them into new compositions. The thing I love about Splazsh, the aforementioned first album by Actress is how versatile the tracks are, each one draws from various different genres of music with pretty much noting being off limits. A personal favorite from that album is Maze, which feels like a fine dancehall standard absolutely re-imagined from the ground up.
