Paolo Driver - Ok Samba
(Nuhar Records)
Release Date: August 1st, 2008
Reviewed: 3.5/5
User Rating: 3.6/5
Italy’s Nuhar Records is back again with a new single entitled “Ok Samba” by Genoese Paolo Driver, whose busy summer already has his name appearing on at least a dozen releases on several different labels.
Ok Samba builds on a solid foundation of great humpy bass, swinging tech house percussion, and the occasional hand drum fill. The main feature here is the really cool use of tribal chanting and other human samples, bringing a fun and carefree vibe to this release. The result is a pleasant blend of organic and current tech house elements.
