Huxley At Juno Download

Review: Having won some fans with his Hypercolour release, Huxley now leaps to 20:20 Vision to dish out more smooth, feel-good house music. On "Box Clever" a rubbery bass line and steady drum machine beats meet with cheery piano samples for a track that could become synonymous with outdoor grooving in the sunshine. "Atonement" is more inwardly focused, not least in the filtered synth that lends a sexy late-night feel to the track. "Out Of My Mind" switches things up nicely with a cheeky broken beat bouncing off smatterings of Detroit chords for a surprising and addictive groove.

Review: Without wanting to besmirch the good name of Tring, the town is hardly known as a thriving hub of high quality house music. This EP, then, is something a rarity: it's by a chap from Tring, it's full of nicely produced deep house, and it's rather good. There are three original tracks on show; the boompty-meets-classic NYC house vibes of "Shower Scene", the springy bassline proggyness of "Terrorize" and the old skool garage bounce of "Like One". There are also a couple of solid remixes, including a rather fine Mic Newman version of the title track that boasts some seriously alien synth melodies.
