Review: Conspire has been popping up on labels both liquid and otherwise for quite some time now, and if you haven't checked out his back-catalogue we definitely recommend you take a dive one quiet evening. He's next up in the Soul Deep Artist Spotlight series and damn, what an instalment number five is as the man himself rolls out some soul across varying drum patterns and vibes. 'Jazz Fusion' takes the funkiness of Peshay or someone similar and chops it into bits, gullying things out whilst keeping the overall feeling upbeat and energetic. 'Alone With Nature' is also a highlight, another jungle number, this one packs melancholic piano chords and a stuttering drum break which flutters in tandem. Lovely.
Review: Not a bad EP this. Most of it sits in the new school old school camp which is always interesting for the breaks and energy. My favs are Antidote and Fire and takes me back to those mid 90's vibes.
Review: Thought Technique's last 15 year celebration compilation was huge? You've seen nothing yet. It's their quinceaNera, dammit, and they're not giving up the party yet. Drumsound & Bassline Smith hang on to those summer vibes with two inclusions and artists like Tantrum Desire, Tremah, L Plus and Document One hold the fort with similarly stonking tunes. Unbelievable variety from the label that just keeps on giving. Then giving some more.
Review: Hardworking midlands DJ Conspire comes correct with this collab-heavy Soul Deep debut. Highlights include the swooning chords and rattling drums of "Deeper High", the skippy, breezy "If We Ever" vibe to "Dreams", the wafting, oceanic '80s synths on "Haze" and the tight relationship between the snare and sub on "Take It Back". Clearly working well as solo operator or in partnership, Conspire's pressing all the right buttons here.
