Coyote Clean Up: 2 Hot 2 Wait

I should be more up on my Coyote Clean Up considering he’s from Detroit and I’m pretty sure he’s friends with people I’m friends with, but I haven’t heard too much of his stuff until this, his debut LP on 100% Silk. Like most stuff on the label, this is slightly cloudy but still highly melodic and danceable lo-fi house, with plenty of clipped vocal samples, which aren’t always comprehensible, but seem to have a longing, affectionate tone to them. The songs are tight and compact, moving from section to section and never dragging on too long, always keeping the dancefloor moving. “Double Dip Dub” hustles at a bit of a faster pace than the rest of the album, as does the title track. “Awesome Luv” is probably the track that sticks in the head the most, probably due to the fact that the lyrics are a bit more understandable, and hit quite hard: “Think about you forever, so make it downtown whenever.” A really solid album, although as far as 100% Silk’s output this year, Octo Octa’s album still reigns supreme as far as emotional, beautiful house music that resonates and moves me.
