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 spent much of his career sidestepping lazy stereotyping, successfully turning his hand to all manner of downtempo and club-friendly styles. This fine EP for Rocksteady Disco sees the Detroit-based producer exploring some of his global influences in three different ways. Opener "Standing Still is an Illusion", where glistening guitars, rich electric bass and fluid hand percussion combine with drum machine beats and impassioned vocals, is a brilliantly warm and sunny fusion of Balearic disco charm and organic Afro-house grooves. These African influences are explored further on the dense, tribal style thrust of "Ayiba I Yeri O", before he whips his shirt off and heads for the Rio carnival on the equally percussive "Pagode Americano".
