Review:
Belgian duo Spirit Catcher seem to have been forgotten a bit in the last few years, despite releasing music that's far superior to most nu-disco and boogie-flavoured deep house. In case you'd forgotten, their bright, warm, synth-heavy style - electrofunk goes deep house, if you will - pre-dates the nu-disco explosion. Here they pop up on Dave Lee's Z Records imprint with a trio of cuts that utilize grooves from underground synth-funk classics. The resultant tracks are every bit as fun and well-produced as you'd expect, with the breezy "Rendez Vous" and '80s soul-goes-Tiger & Woods flex of "Absolute Drop" just edging out the BB&Q-sampling "Street Skills".
