John Oliver
No Hotel Rooms

The final album by a Jamaican born musician who is originally from East London is an interesting listen. He starts off the set with a few soft hands over beautiful slow ’beeps’ before switching to sustained raised voice ripples and stuttering beats. “Hotel Suite 1” is full of slow robot thumps, which he manipulates into textured textures that move around on the turntable. “Hotel Suite 2” is some of the most boppy techno I’ve heard in quite some time. The first side is a cover of a classic 1970s tune by the great Booker T. On this side Oliver is accompanied by the lovely voice of Aisha Devi. The second side is the full version of “No Hotel Rooms” – this time with a strange frequency modulation. I suspect the idea is to create a more trance-like effect than the one found on the earlier tracks. It seems to come from deep within the machine, but it works really well.
