If you don't already recognize the name, it's time to get familiar. Galcher Lustwerk is the wild card element of the much hyped White Material crew. While capable of producing soulful, deep house cuts, the Brooklyn-based producer also adds a unique spin not often heard in the underground dance scene by lacing the tracks with his own signature laid back raps. On paper you might be thinking hip-house revival, but this is much more contemporary and sophisticated. Check the style on "Chillin In the Booth," and "216" - refreshing sounds for sure, while the "Nu Day," and "Fate" keep it moving on the instrumental tip. This is Galcher's second 12" and if it is anything like his debut 12" on White Material, it's sure to sell out with the quickness. Don't get caught sleeping!
