Henrik Schwarz At Juno Download

Review: German producer Henrik Schwarz is one of the few contemporary house artists to work creatively with vocals - as he showed so articulately on Walk Music and now on this release for Watergate. "Words" manages to achieve the feat that so many house producers aspire to but which so few achieve, namely fusing a soulful vocal with dance floor force - on this occasion thanks to the track's steely drums and bouncy groove. Watergate has tapped up Carl Craig for two remixes and he doesn't disappoint: there's not much to choose between the vocal and instrumental version, but this writer chooses the latter as it gives full vent to his dark, warbling bass and spine-tingling synth lines.
