Twelve inch vinyl pressing. 2014 single from New England's Deep House patriot. CAUSE I LOVE YOU jacks out of the gate, a jubilant drag race of tumbling percussion, intestinal bass and slipstreaming vocal samples, a true banger to break the moody collective soul mold of BETWEEN TWO SELVES. It's not all so raring though. Live staple 'So Lux' lives up to the title, a creamy, serene slice of stereo software, while 'Give' (featuring Raw Moans) coasts on a mesmerizing melody loop, filtered, flowing, and low to the ground. Closer 'Mine' (Second Chance Mix) is classic Octo: lens-flared, high-stepping, turned on, turned loose. Though more of a variety pack than a linearly themed collection, these four cuts show a craftsman hot in the pocket, still picking up steam, alive with ideas.
