Review:
Three joyful shades of funk and soul get explored in style on this new EP from Parisian beatmaker Guts. Title tune "What Is Love" is a gloriously mellow and slow affair, with rich double bass and Rhodes vibing out over a slo-jam groove, while "Brand New Freedom" explores Afrodelics via a subtle bit of disco-editing. The warm reggae/soul of "Freedom" also shows Guts's excellent cut 'n' paste skills as beats and samples get tantalisingly filtered up over a hip-hop beat.
