The pair now team up together for a poignant debut release as 44th Move. “Creating the sound was just a coming together where we discovered that we shared a lot of the same influences. We got to writing straight away - before we really got to know each other. I found it easy with a ton of inspiration. Ideas kept coming and we were on the same page. In retrospect we want 44th to have an edge - it’s a ‘heart on your sleeve’ project where we can express all those hip hop and broken beat records.” - Richard Spaven Little Techno opens with an essence of melancholy and emotional connection emphasising loose drums, pulsing keys and delicate chords. Fly then superbly merges contemporary glitches and samples with organic percussion while Hope fuses Alfa Mist’s vocal-work with elegant brass, keys and an undercurrent of subtle rhythmic delight. On the flip, Broken flows with soft Rhodes sequences and Spaven’s signature crisp-sounding snares, giving a sophisticated edge to its arrangement before Two Nil slants towards a broken-beat lane with distant keyboards, syncopated beats and dystopian-like harmonies.
