If we are to discuss the music of South London native Hector Plimmer, it is best to stay away from the idea of genre. Sure one could possibly sort out various elements in terms of the type of music he creates, but to even dwell that far into dissection is almost to miss the beauty and craftsmanship of his art. If a description just had to be placed on his new LP 'Sunshine', possibly sonic voodoo could come close. Perhaps dream state music is appropriate. No matter what description one chooses to attribute to Plimmer's sound, one thing is certain, 'Sunshine' is truly a gorgeous ray of light, lifting and point blank beautiful.
Producer and DJ Hector Plimmer is good...real good. In fact, the South London native was aiming at pushing the boundaries of music with tracks like 'Circle Square Triangle', literally 3 years back. Having tapped into electronica/future jazz hybrids with 'Personal Paradise', and more notably blowing fans away with his cut 'Tomorrow', which was feature on Gilles Peterson's 'Brownswood Bubblers Vol. 11' back in 2014, Plimmer continues to produce forward-thinking music with his 'Eastern System' EP, out on one of our choice labels, Albert’s Favourites. Doing what he does best, which is to blend multiple styles and sounds, practically erasing the idea of genre, the record captures snapshots of tribal rhythms integrated with unorthodox electronica and up-rock breakbeats, totally spawning a fresh and innovative release that sounds nothing like anything out at the moment. Hector Plimmer has definitely scored a big win with this release. Have a listen.
