After doing an interview in early 2005 with Ross Couch I had already been immersed in his house sound and the music he offered on his label Tekstyle and other labels which he offered his music on. Although he hit some bumps in the road with distributors at the time its good to see that Ross Couch endured the troubles and kept the beat alive. Since then Body Rhythm was born and Ross Couch has also released on several other labels. His latest offering Night & Day merges the maturity of his productions and combines them into a package that offers up deep, funky chunky and soulful explorations. "People of the Night" is a perfect example of the fun loving atmosphere in a horn fueled jazzy track that just doesn’t yield for nobody. The groove peaks with a swing feel and lots of horns to follow along. "Love at first Sight" slows down the energy and pulls in the deep and melodic side of Night & Day. I’m always up for a funky track but its nice to dive into the deep end and hear a deep track. "Within your Soul" is much of the same style. Heavenly piano arrangements softly accenting the kick drum and soothing vocal harmonies float effortlessly. One of the best track here though is " Use your Loaf" it has more of the swing house groove to it and it’s a bit out of the ordinary but a welcome sound none the less. The 20’s piano and horn blow out a quirky syncopated kick that gets your curious mind up and ready to dance it out.
