Review:
One for the soulful hearts amongst the D&B community, this latest offering from the world famous Soul Deep Recordings features Baltimore-born Bank playing his heart out to the tune of some seriously uplifting breaks. Playful and filled with live-sounding instrumentation and loose snares, "One For One" reaches new summery heights, "SB Dub" tags refreshing splashes of piano to synthy strings to build up to perhaps the prettiest drop in recorded history, and "Soul Cycle" sits somewhere between the orient and Brazilian summer beach parties, with an unexpected bassline wretching its guts up underneath in case you were worried about it's dancefloor credentials. Finally, "Hard Cache" explores a far more electronic sound, with hopeful piano stabs adding warmth and high end texture to a monstrously low bass. An EP in two minds - it's like the bright sunshine just before the storm clouds roll in.
