about

Piff Records presents A Story Of Innocence Lost, the latest record by Shaolin Cowboy. At five tracks long, the EP presents a jazzy vision of deep house from Shaolin Cowboy, also known as Alec Campbell, and features collaborations with producer AJ Edward. What stands out here is Campbell's ability to craft intriguing rhythms and gorgeous textures, a stellar addition to a growing back catalogue.

'Down Like That' opens the record. Shaolin Cowboy and AJ Edward build plush synths around a pitched-down vocal sample, but the real highlight here is the rhythms. Thumping percussion drives the track forward at a steady pace, and when the thick bass tones envelope the speaker, the atmosphere is akin to the laid-back feel of an early evening European summer.

'Make Me Cry' is up next. Nimble synths, warm in texture, combine with brisk drum patterns and a brief vocal sample; the latter elements serve as the body's anchor to dance. It's gentle on the ears but still packs a punch: perfectly poised for the opening moments of a DJ set.

'Yeh Yeh Yeh' blends the physicality of jazz with house stylings. Minor-key chords make up the lead section, but the shuffling percussion underneath adds vitality.

'Gumballs' is the record’s second link-up between Shaolin Cowboy and AJ Edward. Shimmering pad arrangements and minimal percussion make this one a textural delight, like a slow-burn light show that dazzles the senses.

'Goodbye George' is the bonus track alongside the record. Melodic synth motifs glisten like a pristine ring in the sun, with irresistible grooves coming from the rhythms and soulful vocal sample.
