DESCRIPTION:
4 Track EP OF Deep House With Spoken Vocal & Tech Feel - Oliver Dollar presents part four of his Contemporary series on Rekids. The EP precedes his upcoming album on the label, enlisting Seven ‘Sev’ Davis Jr. and Nils Ohrmann, alongside dub reinterpretations by La Boix and Sev.
Germany’s Oliver Dollar returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids with Contemporary Part Four, Parts one through three featured collaborations with Austin Ato, Brillstein, Harvard Bass, Hazmat Live, Boogs, and many more, winning support from the likes of Nightmares on Wax, Anja Schneider, Laurent Garnier, Carista, Jennifer Cardini, Dam Swindle, and others.
For this next chapter of Oliver Dollar’s ‘Contemporary’, elements of Dub serve as the unifying thread, opening part four with ‘Speakers Bleed’, a jazz-inflected House cut from Oliver and Classic Music Company and Ninja Tune artist Seven ‘Sev’ Davis Jr. Hypnotic vocals swirl through deep, groove-laden rhythms, setting the tone for the EP’s fluid, atmospheric feel before Oliver reunites with Golden Gate club resident and long-time collaborator Nils Ohrmann for the Hallelujah Dub of ‘The New Is Here’. The track features the soulful voice of Detroit songwriter and Contemporary series regular APROPOS while gospel-tinged background vocals and rich textures sit over an infectious percussive rhythm. On the flip, Oliver Dollar & Brillstein’s ‘Pill Popper’ from Contemporary Part Two is reworked by La Boix, the duo of LA”s Thee Mike B (aka Brillstein) and producer Salva, whose credits include work with RL Grime, Kurupt, E-40, and the Grammy-nominated album of ScHoolboy Q, as well as remixes for Rihanna, Boys Noize and Nelly Furtado. Their version is a late-night, low-slung trip, with echoing keys and vocals drifting through deep basslines. Closing the EP, Seven Davis Jr. returns for a dub of ‘Before You’, Oliver’s collaboration with ADMN from Contemporary Part One. Retaining APROPOS’ heartfelt vocal from the original, Sev layers bright, soul-drenched synths over rolling drums, delivering an irresistible, feel-good finale.
On the fourth and - we think - final part of Oliver Dollar's collaboration-focused EP series Contemporary, we're treated to two previously unheard hook-ups, as well as fresh remixes of gems released in 2024. The great Seven Davis Jr lends a hand on the gritty, off-kilter house funk of 'Speaker's Bleed', where the American's vocalisations, low-slung bass and crackly sonics catch the ear, before we get the 'Hallelujah Dub' of unheard Niels Ohrmann and APROPROS hook-up 'Hallelujah' (which adds Ricardo De Lyte rap samples to a locked-in late-night house groove. Over on side B, La Boix successfully dubs out the piano-powered deep house roll of 'Pill Popper' (with Brillstein) while Seven Davis Jr lays down a stripped-back, low-slung and TB-303 bass-propelled dub of ADMN collab 'Before You' from Contemporary Part 1.
