Greek producer Lex (it’s just Lex) fell in love with the bass and it’s a love that he consummates in public with the bass-loving groove of “Fast Jags,” a new single on B2 Recordings. “Fast Jags” is built around a tony, funky bassline straight out of the sepia-toned ’70s — I mean it’s the whole reason this track exists, the raking drums, electric piano and wobbly synth mere ornaments hanging on this addictive riff out of Bootsy’s bag. At 6:51 it would seem to ramble but it’s over before you know it.

Label owner Bengoa’s remix is a “raw edit” with a shake of tambourines and rolling bongos. Felipe Gordon throws a fucking fireball here, though: his remix is an audio palate cleanser and is the kind of hypnotic, warm deep house that has made “and it comes with a Felipe Gordon remix” one of the most pleasing sounds in the underground over the last few years.
