Unknown Artist
Mid Level Boss: Bonus Round EP
About this item
Shadow Pressings usher in their 2nd release - another fine collection of loopy disco-house, acid flecked jack trax and high voltage refixes by an unknown producer.
"Find A Friend" opens by looping up the tastiest bites from a well known Loft classic. "Holding One Shoe" sounds like it could be taken from this week's ALFOS compilation. A steady and surefired acid jacker with seductive female vox and excellent drum programming.
Onto side B and "Train Of Fools" wraps Murk vox around a rock solid rotary groove with a few dubby inflections to beef it out while a perfectly poised arrangement is primed to set the dancefloor alight. "More Music In The Night" concludes with a dreamy, soulful and slightly techy house jam. Subtley decorated with organ stabs, vintage drum boxes and pluming side-chained compression it reminds me quite heavily of Orlando Voorn's productions. Not that he's the producer in question - I don't think! ;)
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: A new label kicks off its tenure with two exceptional 12"s that showcase a slick and refined sound that's perfectly digestible for current tastes. THIS my friends, is the jam of the moment.
