"Tonight", benefiting here from a remix by rising newcomer Vick Lavender; is sparkly, liquid deep house - similar in vein to Ron Trent's Electric Blue series with its full fat, thick production; dazzling leads and overal highly charged spiritual current. "Zero" carries on the theme with tough tribal leanings and long, sweeping SFX, bathing the mix in a heady patina that's perfect for getting sweaty to late on in the evening. "Rain" completes the sets with a spiritual house epic complete with gospel vox and a life affirming guitar solo. Ridiculously strong stuff here from Owens who epitomized the spirit of deep house through and through. Recommended!
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Chicago house legends don't come much bigger than the true OG Robert Owens - literally around since the birth of the genre! A new EP of solo productions b/w a slick remix by rising new schooler Vick Lavender that's bountiful with deep house goodness.TRACK LISTING
