Oliver Dollar - Strings For Life EP [Rekids]

Oliver Dollar knows how to craft a catchy loop and has proven it many times on various labels. This time, he lands on Berlin's leading imprint, Rekids, and brings a sound very different from the label's usual fare. The opening track, 'Strings For Life,' is lush, ethereal, and golden, with rich strings soaring over a soulful, rolling, and simple yet effective groove. 'School Daze' is an enveloping track with a funk bassline, jazzy chords, and timeless house drums, all topped off with a retro vocal sample. 'Sophisticated Funk' is just that, with its summery and intoxicating filtered house loops. These are feel-good tunes without a doubt.
