ABOUT THIS ITEM

With their debut long player, 6th Borough Project give us a candid glimpse into what it might be like to spend One Night In the Borough – that’s Edinburgh to you and me, home of the military tattoo, Harry Potter and the deepest, disco-infused house and raw underground soul made by two music aficionados / obsessives named Craig and Graeme. From the outset, this LP feels like the coming of age for a project that has been previously focused solely on 12” dancefloor cuts but has now been cut loose and pushed things further to explore and revel in the wider perimeters of the LP format.

"Let Yourself Go" sets up the vibe perfectly with its echoing chords and dub FX before things slide into loopy beatdown house on "If The Feeling’s Right". Next up things go heads down, all out, old school deep house with "BURT (The Journey)" which nods to classic Global Communication but keeps the tempo way down creating a super sexed-up groove which positively throbs throughout. "Find A Way" sees the guys deliver what we know as classic 6th Borough material; precision-cut edity disco and soul but fattened-up with a meaty kick and an arrangement which screams out for peaktime plays.

Up next we have "Back To Me" featuring the vocals of Ricky Reid who drops in just the right amount of hooks on top of a rolling square wave bass, layers of fizzing pads and understated groove. More proof of 6th Borough's ability to ignite dancefloors follows with "The Fool" which comes fully loaded with funk and an unbridled energy. "Iznae" hits with a brilliant wobbling bassline that brings a warehouse feel to proceedings before the groove drops into a brilliant break that Harvey Mason would be proud of. "Deep C" drops the BPMs for a beautifully layered deep-as-fook head nodder that builds with little bass hits and echoing stabs all seemingly wrapped up in a haze of delightful opium smoke. "Changin" goes on a classic deep house one before "BURT (Inside)" takes over with a slightly darker edge, Detroit stabs and ‘Inside’ spoken word. Finally, "Settle" winds things down perfectly bringing the LP to a blissed out conclusion laden with spinning dub delays, warped sample hits and vocals drenched in reverb.
