Here they are again, in serious leg-shagging mode with another fine pair of gloriously-pendulous deep house bollocks which I’m reviewing in the same spot in an attempt to catch up with LMD’s prodigious output. First, Danny Stott from Burnley follows March’s ‘Circuits’ debut with a fine slab of disco-tinged whoopee prodded by horns and washed in deep 80s-style textures. Then Atnarko from Orlando steams in with a lethal bass injection and warm chords before Lee Jarvis [now relocated from London to Chicago] lets fly with a deep ripper. Bonus track ‘Bubble Pop’ ups the sonic seduction elements like a moth in silk shorts.
Meanwhile, Latvia’s Artie follows July’s ‘Deep Space’ EP with another tasty excursion into that timeless style of deep house originated in New York around the late 80s on labels like Nu Groove. ‘The Blame’ is majestic and loping with big riffs and lush chord-beds. The glacial space-drops hanging from the bassed-up testicles of ‘Precious’ recall great producers like Wayne Gardener – pure NY. After also nodding at modern torch-beaers like 2020 Soundsystem, Artie emphasises the underlying techy elements on ‘Damage’, which could be the best cut with its effortless drop into electro-flecked pastures. Like I’ve said before, the best pure house to come out of this country for donkey’s, thanks to records like this.
