Joaquin Joe Claussell – A Journey To Noi: It All Began In The East (Marbled Vinyl 12″)
Two years ago, Joaquin “Joe” Clausell donned his occasional Mental Remedy alias and offered up “A Journey To Noi”, a decidedly spiritual album that mixed Japanese instrumentation with his usual ambient and deep house sounds. On this 12″, Clausell offers up some heady new interpretations that – like much of his work over the last decade – are built around the percussive power of African rhythms. The opening “Sacred Rhythm Version” of “It All Began In The East” is particularly potent, with Clausell cloaking a warm, organic and percussive Afro-house beat in distinctive Japanese Koto melodies and jazzy piano flourishes. We’d also recommend the formidably heavy, drum-laden rework of “Dance For Gratitude”, whose Latin American bassline and simmering synth-strings are almost as addictive as the weighty groove they sit upon.
