On Keaver & Brause’s debut album “The Middle Way” we hear screechy bassline grooves under the same roof as 1000names, Dabrye, or Paul White. The production has the soulful qualities of Ge-ology, DJ Spinna and DJ Mitsu due to the heavy hitting boom-bap handclaps over warm, jazzy melodies. So with all these namedrops and comparisons, what does it exactly sound like? Tracks like “Laaastic” have that handclap crunch and strumming of harp much like Ge-ology, Spinna and Mitsu productions. It is a bit odd to compare the Keaver & Brause production style to hip-hop producers, however, the evidence is there. Stuttering electronic beats can sound soulful. This release is all over the place in my mind, in a very good way. Some tracks remind me of 1000names, and others remind me of DJ Spinna. Recommended.
