Review:
Given their love of all things old skool, it's perhaps unsurprising that Smallpeople's latest EP doffs its cap to a number of classic dance releases. The moody and hypnotic "Black Ice" has a real old R&S feel to it, reminding us of Jaydee's "Plastic Dreams", Capricorn's "30 HZ" and, most bizarrely, "Age of Love" - admittedly with a Model 500 sheen. "Stellar", meanwhile, casually fuses veteran Detroit and New York influences with the modern pulse of 2011 deep house, while the lazy "Little River" sounds like Beatdown after a night out in Berlin.
