Vamp by Edwin Oosterwal
It's a swift return to his own label, as an artist, for Edwin Oosterwal. Having seen his Dub mix of Daniel Dubb’s ‘Rain & Rhythm’ stand tall as a firm favourite for many on April’s Remix package, this time the Rejected boss takes center stage with his new double-header ‘Vamp’ / ‘Get On’.
With Edwin personally drawn to the more minimal and repetitive side of electronic music, it is no surprise to find that the title track ‘Vamp’ is not only named after a repeating musical figure, but also takes a simple, uncluttered and yet wholly effective musical form. Deep, delicate and completely hypnotic, ’Vamp’ is a fantastic dance floor tool.
From deep and delicate to bold and bouyant. Get On, our B Side, is equally non-fussy with its bulbous bassline and repeated vocal. Primed for some playful looping, Get On is set to become the DJ’s favourite friend.
