Gideon Bouwens At Juno Download

Review: Having already impressed us this week with an excellent EP of smoky, jazz-flecked deep house by Sai (the brilliant Midnight Colours), Swizz label STHLM Audio drops another high quality single. The man at the controls this time round is Gideon Bouwens, who delivers a couple of bubbling belters that inject some electronic funk into the label's traditional deep house imprint. Opener "Life Stories (part 3.2)" sets the tone, building a heady late night deep house groove around sprightly synth bass and snappy analogue percussion. "Life Stories (part 2)" utilises similar synth bass sounds, adding chiming melodies and vocal groans for a more lazy deep house vibe.
