Arthur James Denton At Juno Download

Review: The reinvention of former nu-disco producer Maelstrom continues apace, as he drops his second EP of early 90s house jams for Endless Flight under the Arthur James Denton moniker. "An Odyssey" looks further back for inspiration. The lead track fuses the early deep house sounds of Nu Groove with a dash of original Chicago acid, resulting in something that's but rough and glisteningly smooth. "Loon" pairs Lone-ish revivalism with DJ Gregory style Afro-house, whilst Legowelt weighs in with a shimmering remix of the title track. His version is gloriously Balearic - think Nacho Patrol on Red Bull, and you're close.

Review: Sometimes taking on a new pseudonym can be just the fillip an artist needs to create his best work. That's arguably the case here, as the Glaswegian formerly known as Maelstrom reinvents himself with a delicious two-tracker for Endless Flight. Where his previous releases - and those on his Solardisco label - flitted around the edges of nu-disco and nu-Balearica, these tracks are raw, heavy, druggy slabs of late night 90s US house. Both "Lost In The Dance" and "In Vision" rock hard, working a selection of bass-heavy grooves, riffs and samples that should cause ructions in dark basements and dimly lit warehouses the world over. Bravo!
