Review:
In 2011 Wolf Music enjoyed something akin to a breakthrough year, with their various artists EPs getting plaudits in all the right corners and even squeezing out a fine mix in the shape of I Wanna See All My Friends At Once. Their latest release shows a switch in focus, though there is no compromise on quality as label mainstay KRL is offered the chance to demonstrate his production prowess across the full length of n EP. Both lead track "Decay" and "Deep Down" make for two of those undeniably joyous house moments, the former utilising slick vocal samples and strings dripping with emotion amidst a constantly shifting rhythmic template, whilst "Deep Down" displays a looseness of percussion that is worthy of the "Up & Down" vocal samples that filter throughout. The sudden lunges of acid that appear midway through are just another aspect that separates KRL's production from a thousand tracky deep house releases. A further foray into finely poised acid heavy warehouse tackle ("Nothin You Can Teach Me") is joined by a playful remix of "Deep Down" by Ethyl.
