Denats has spent 30 years learning what makes a room move, and this two-tracker shows exactly where that education lands. This Music Is and How It’s Done are chunky, funky jackin house built the way it used to be built — loops, samples, swing, and patience. How It’s Done in particular goes somewhere interesting, with a bassline that plays like an upright bass, giving the track a warmth and organic feel that most modern house doesn’t bother reaching for. Both tracks do exactly what the title promises.
