Less J drops Ocean View on Island Issues, a four-track EP that channels gritty soul straight from the streets of L’Hospitalet. This bedroom producer, stacking beats by night after laying bricks by day, pours his unfiltered energy into every groove, earning nods as the local Moodymann through relentless releases on his own Law Heart Records and beyond. Island Issues stands tall as a platform for authentic house excursions since its inception, spotlighting artists who deliver street-level depth and club-ready punch without compromise.
The EP leads with “Ocean View,” a heavy-sampling powerhouse that builds with the same patient grit Less J applies to his day job, locking in dancers with soulful persistence. “Soul To South” follows, digging deep into rhythmic foundations that echo urban nights and underground gatherings. Then Mistanomista steps in with his remix of “Ocean View,” reshaping the original into a fresh assault that amps the drive for peak-time warfare. Closing out is “Still On The Wave,” a steadfast roller that keeps the momentum surging, true to Less J’s no-frills approach.
Less J crafts these tracks brick by brick, blending rough-cut soul with house urgency that resonates in hidden spots where real heads convene. With Mistanomista adding his remix prowess, the package equips DJs with tools that hit hard and hold steady, embodying the raw energy of producers who grind for every bar. This release captures the essence of persistence in the underground house scene, where effort translates directly to floor command. Ocean View proves Less J’s staying power, a must for selectors chasing that authentic edge.
