David Harness may be a new name for followers of West Coast house, but his signing to the Loveslap! Label throws him into the spotlight. ‘Heartbeat’
is a solid, if at times unspectacular mix, and after the softly spoken opening from Alma Horton the music becomes part of the bar wallpaper for a long period, rescued by the broken beat of Fertile Ground’s ‘Live In The Light’. From here on things are much better, with Heather Johnson giving a sexy vocal to Spencer Gray’s ‘Pillow Talk’, and Blaze ending on a spiritual high with ‘Found Love’.
