Review: When Batongo first emerged a few years back, much was made about the mysterious producer's Euro-dance roots, and the fact that he'd produced a number of '90s hits' under an undisclosed alias. These days, most have forgotten these unlikely roots, choosing instead to celebrate his contemporary efforts. Certainly, you'll struggle to find anything more beguiling than "Say Yes", the breathtakingly simple piano-and-pleading vocal number that opens his latest EP. He's on more familiar dancefloor territory with the all-action, warts-and-all disco-house pump of "Ah Yes", though it's the dreamy intricacy of deep house closer "La Notte Dei Tempi" - all drawn-out ambient house build-ups, sampled radio chatter, jazz loops and fizzing beats - that really stands out.
