Review: Detroit's Blair French is a man of many talents: he's a graphic designer as well as a music producer, while in the studio he's just as happy turning his hand to ambient music and sound design for film as he is knocking out club tracks. It's in the club where we find him on this latest release, though, as he serves up three dense, African-inspired shufflers. Choose from the chant vox and piercing flute/pipe line of 'Transcultural Dance', the pounding drums and sing-song vocal of 'From Over The Hills Beyond' itself, or the rainforest sounds and monkey howls of 'A Shade Of Victory'.

Review: Although he's flirted with other labels - most notably Claremont 56 and NuNorthern Soul - Blair French usually saves his best work for Peter Croce and Moonlighter's Rocksteady Disco imprint. Here he returns to that label's loving arms with his first full-length excursion in six years, a vibrant, atmospheric and musically mixed-up set that we think is his single greatest release to date. Starting with the extra-percussive, dub disco goes Afro-house heaviness of opener 'Faded By The Sun', highlights come thick and fast throughout. Our current favourites include the Afro-beatdown trip that is 'Stay Detroit', the jazzy downtempo grooves and spoken word vocals of 'Deep Tissue', the celebratory Balearic disco loveliness of 'Honey Rooftops', and the Hammond heavy Afro-funk cheeriness of 'Genes'.

Review: Blair French has dropped his second single this year and there were initially only 300 copies on vinyl! Following "Standing Still Is An Illusion" on Rocksteady Disco come two more sublime Balearic affairs that fit Claremont 56 like a snug pair of speedos; "Sandbar Caviar" wafts and sways with island waves as gentle arpeggios ebb and flow creating harmonies and cosmic textures while "Inland Island" adjusts our seats to a horizontal position with its snaking bassline and spacious percussion gradually opening into a heavenly vocal and guitar lead that's tantamount to transcendental.
