Many producers and their fans defend limp, threadbare minimal house tracks as “DJ tools” whose usefulness is lost on audiences who hear them out of context. Yet every now and then an exceptional DJ tool comes along that lays bare just how pathetic such an excuse can be. Klas Lindblad, better known as Sasse/Freestyle Man and owner of the Moodmusic label, is rarely mentioned in the same sentence as a DJ tool, as his productions for labels such as Freude Am Tanzen, Dirt Crew Recordings, Keys of Life and his own imprints tend to come out fully formed and ripe for solo play. More than 15 years spent behind decks and drum machines, however, tends to give producers like Lindblad a sense for which additional elements spice up DJ sets, as well as how to work them into a record. His latest as Freestyle Man, the “Vibin EP” for Bear Entertainment sub-label Hairy Claw, shows lazy toolmakers how it’s done.
