I was flummoxed by Ara Koufax’s ‘Converge’ when I first heard it. Who are these people as from where did they receive these otherworldly powers? Sadly there was no origin story to speak of (I was hoping for something along the lines of a Night Man origin story) but rather a case of an already outstanding duo doing their solo projects, but together- as a duo, you know what I mean? Ok fine it’s Naysayer & Gilsun under another name but a necessary other name to denote a necessary other music. Ara Koufax is brighter and housier than it’s N&G brethren but my word, that first single was neeeeeeext level, and we’re already starting on maybe level 12 or 13 or something. They’ve hopped an ocean or two these past couple months to bring us this next track, out as part of Oceans Apart through the seemingly defunct Cutters Records. Maybe this heralds a few new Cutters releases- we can but hope. Normaltimes these Ara Koufax tunes will be out through Gill’s own Downtime and I’ve it from a reliable CI that there are a number of newies on the way. In the meantime, be warmed by piano samples lifted indirect from 90s happy hardcore and the sort of dancefloor positivity that you can usually only glean from tracks Sunchyme. I imagine the ear to ear smile our Cutters Records executives had on their million dollar faces when this song dropped in their inbox was something similar to my own when I repeat play this number.
