Ware has always struck me as the summer to Dial’s winter, and Ziggy Kinder’s newest 12″ works well in this formulation. Tiny specks of synth get loosely coalesced into hooks, while the beat remains incredibly buoyant at all times. Apparently this is Kinder’s debut 12″ and, in that respect, you have to be taken aback in some ways. The title is apt: every micro-detail is managed to within an inch of its life. But, you know, the production being impeccable is nothing without the tunes to carry it along (which Kinder is obviously trying to craft here in some way), and he doesn’t quite have that together just yet.
