Playside

Phwoar! If you’re looking for house so deep that bulging-eyed fish with luminous scrotums are flapping their fins several hundred feet above then you’ve come to the right domain as London house stalwart Dexter finally makes his debut on one of the UK’s finest labels. He’s already been released on labels including Wiggle, Uhuru Beats, Beat Code, Headtunes, Low Pressings and Bosh but this wayward pound was made for his brand of subterranean foraging which sees the classic NY deep house style as practiced in the early 90s by such giants as Wayne Gardner is mated with UK acid house sensibility. ‘Wanting You’ is sublimely subtle with swirling Detroit chords and the always-welcome female vocal shard in the ether. ‘All I Need’ is simply heavenly in the keyboard department while ‘Addicted’ a more shadowy excursion with acid bassline and a vole examining his scrotum in a tunnel. Lovely and essential.
