Bleep

At ease, boys! Would you understand what we meant if we described Will Dimaggio’s debut LP as Keith Haring music? No? Then let us explain. Aside from the lovely cover art that bears clear influence of Haring, the tracks that make up At Ease are the kind of groovy, friendly street beats that one tends to associate with Haring’s post-Paradise Garage NYC. Aided by pals including Anthony Naples and DJ Python, Dimaggio has crafted eight pieces of good-time party music that fuses house, disco, jazz and techno. The closest contemporary comparison would be with something like London’s Rhythm Section, though the streetwise shuffles of ‘Steppin W Friends’ and ‘UH UH OH’ plant At Ease firmly in the five boroughs.
