Georg Levin At Juno Download

Review: You can always rely on former Sonar Kollektiv man Georg Levin to bring the soul. While not everyone will appreciate his soft-focus approach, his singles are rarely less than lovely. This remix package sees the title track from his most recent LP - a typically breezy concoction - get the dancefloor treatment. Levin himself provides a warm rub that pits snatches of his vocal against classic US garage organs, but the real highlight is the Bara Brost Disco Dub. Low-slung, elastic and gently driving, it turns the original into a rip-roaring P-funk/deep house fusion. The warm soundscape electro version of "Late Discovery" from Earl's Court is worth a gander, too.

Review: This seven-track collection gathers together the vinyl-only cuts from Georg Levin's 2010 album Everything Must Change, adding various alternate versions and instrumentals. The title track is the former Sonar Kollektiv mainstay's best track since "When I'm With You", his impeccable 2000 debut. It has just the right mix of heartfelt soul, electro-funk swing and smooth dancefloor bump. It's presented here in both vocal and instrumental versions, with the former standing out. Stevie Wonder cover "That Girl" is good fun, too, especially the Dub Mix, which throws in some sprightly house-not-house drums and killer synth bass hooks for a more floor friendly vibe. The EP closes with vocal and instrumental versions of the ultra-smooth "I Need To Understand".
