The sounds that have emanated from little London-based house label, LB Produce, thus far have been modest, occulted by the label’s own mystery (only a mere 100 or so know of their existence, so it seems), yet they never fail to set proverbial fire to the dancefloor.
The helm is now overtaken by Ron Obvious – when not being played by Terry Jones in Monty Python – for the vinyl-only imprint’s third release: a four-track EP of sweltering house tracks, all equally as dark and recondite in nature. The highlight here is “I Keep Down”. With a vocal snippet, heavy on the reverb, opening the track with a blasé “My name is Ron Obvious”, gradual MIDI layering of tinny hi-hats and kaleidoscopic synthesiser melodies, the track pays clear homage to the distinctive timbres of mid-1980s Chicago and Detroit in their most orthodox forms. A considerable feat, achieved by Obvious both convincingly and respectfully.
