We’ve had our eyes and ears on Tee Mango for a while now.
His debut album ‘Imperfections’ is future classic in our book and the Tribute series been part of our DJ-sets for a while now. In short – we had to get him to do an EP for Local Talk.
DADHAUS EP is forward-thinking music with an edge; (undoubtedly sharpened through countless studio hours).
Tee’s channels the deep house flavours of Detroit and Chicago across four tracks of exquisitely executed percussion and ‘sample-not-sample’ work. It’s another winner from the man like Tee Mango.
Here is the alter ego of Millionhands big cheese Tom Mangan. As Tee Mango he has had releases with Will Saul (and released on his Aus Music imprint earlier this year) and he’s next up on Mad Mats & Tooli’s Local Talk imprint. There’s some splendid expressions in nu-jazz deepness on offer on the Dadhouse EP. Beginning with the emotive and chill groove of “Don’t Worry Everything’s Going To Be Alright” with some mad syncopated rhythms: hear the drummer get wicked! “Trying Times” is smooth and jazzy deep house reminiscent of classic Nick Holder with its smoky Rhodes. dusty rhythms and sexy soul vocals. On the flip, the reduced tribal-dub-DJ tool “The Rhythm” (Drums 3) was particularly impressive and reminded us of Kerri Chandler’s more esoteric moments. Finally “Your Love” ends this fine EP on a bittersweet note on this Arthur Russell style jam.
