Dana Ruh - Round 2 Reel

  • Share
  • Dana Ruh's minimal house is a pristine shuffling machine. Drums are pinched into swinging grooves that grace your ears with their sheen. When it comes to working with a bare-boned framework to get bodies moving, Ruh has nailed the process and replicated the results many times. Round 2 Reel is another slight variation on her streamlined sound, bringing to mind a sunset beach packed with bobbing dancers moving to the 2-step grooves booming out of the speakers. The record has an alluring swing, but it could use more range. Each track has a similar rhythm, so you could get lost differentiating between its three tracks. The warped keys that bubble through "Round 2 Reel 2" are a highlight, offering a change of pace by constantly shifting form during the track. The rest of the EP's warm bounce carries it along, even when it feels like it's on autopilot.
