Various Artists – SLOUSE: Fishing In Slower Territories Compiled by Rainer Trueby – (Compost Records)
DMC World Magazine
SLOUSE is code for slowed down or slo-mo House, or indeed if you prefer House music that isn’t too fast. But whatever you like to call it the music contained here is an outstanding collection of deeper, sometimes jazzy, sometimes soulful, tunes that never shy’s away from telling it like is. From the tougher tones of Moonstarr’s very excellent, ‘C-Minus Particles’, via the delicious ambience of the Good Guy Mikesh & Filburt remix of The Blaxploited Orchestra ’The Pursuit’, through to the sought after Maurice Fulton mix of Alice Smith ‘Love Endeavour’ this plays like the music your speakers were born for. Never feeling for a moment lazy any concerns re the tempo are soon forgotten listening to the breezy vibes of S3A’s Balearic infused ‘Deep Mood Act2’ or Adriano Prestel’s great vocal on Christian Prommer’s ‘Can It Be Done’. Not forgetting of course about the vinyl either as you also get Chroma Keys tantalisingly sassy, bass driven number ‘Tonight’ as bonus time. A gorgeous listen.
