GENEX — Weeks & Weeks EP

Genex – Weeks & Weeks EP opens a fresh chapter for the producer on Concrete Soul, catalogued as CONSOUL001, presented as a 12-inch vinyl that leans into tech-house with a pronounced house sensibility. After a period of techno-focused output, the new material foregrounds groove, movement and the subtle details that give a track its lived-in feel, signalling a shift toward a more human-centric dancefloor approach. Concrete Soul positions itself as a home for music that balances raw edge with soulful character, a concept that aligns with the EP’s blend of hard-driving rhythm and melodic warmth. While the label’s broader roster is not detailed here, the release’s ethos of “the contrast between the hard and the human, the concrete and the soul” frames the record within a context that values both functional dancefloor energy and emotional depth. Side A begins with “Weeks & Weeks”, a track that immediately establishes the EP’s groove-centric direction. Its rhythmic pulse invites a steady, rolling movement, making it an effective opener for a set that wants to build momentum without sacrificing nuance. The follow-up, “Marlboro Summer”, continues the house-leaning narrative, offering a slightly more relaxed atmosphere that still retains the driving undercurrent introduced on the first cut, creating a seamless transition between the two A-side selections. On the flip side, “Alloverme” shifts the focus toward a deeper, more enveloping vibe. The track’s structure provides space for DJs to layer additional elements, while its inherent groove sustains the dancefloor’s energy. Closing the record, “List of Words” serves as a concise, hook-laden statement that caps the EP with a memorable motif, reinforcing the release’s emphasis on movement and detail. Within Genex’s own discography, the EP follows the “Overcall EP” on Planet Rhythm (PRRUKWHT015, 2026). That earlier release explored a more techno-oriented palette, whereas Weeks & Weeks EP demonstrates a clear evolution toward house-inflected tech-house, highlighting the artist’s willingness to expand beyond the expected techno framework. In the current underground landscape, where the line between techno’s rigidity and house’s fluidity is increasingly porous, this record offers a compelling synthesis. Its focus on groove and subtle textural shifts makes it relevant for DJs seeking tracks that can both anchor a set and provide room for creative layering. The EP’s four cuts are concise enough to fit into varied set structures, from early-night warm-ups to peak-time peaks, while retaining a cohesive sonic identity. Collectors will appreciate the 12-inch vinyl format, which preserves the analog warmth that complements the record’s emphasis on tactile groove. The pressing aligns with the label’s aesthetic of raw yet character-rich output, delivering a physical artifact that mirrors the music’s balance of hardness and soul.
