Review: Body N Deep's 'BnD Project' EPs - compilation style four-trackers featuring cuts hand-picked by boss man Jovonn - have so far never failed to impress. Predictably, volume three in the series is every bit as essential as its predecessors. Eddie Leader sets the tone with a real earworm of a revivalist New Jersey deep house jam - all hip-swinging machine drums, chunky bass, female vocal snippets and fizzing organ stabs - before St David takes us even deeper via the squelchy synth-bass, restless stabs and synth-sax squiggles of 'The Dark Past'. Anderson Asher guests on DJ Spen and Soululedge's trumpet and saxophone-laden, sun-splashed deep house gem 'Ascension', before Jeremy Santiago FTL opts for a trippy, suspenseful, slow-building deep house-goes-tech-house vibe on superb closing cut 'Tech Head'.
Review: In a serendipitous moment, Hudd Traxx label head Eddie Leader finds inspiration for his latest single, "Pressure" during a casual after hours jam with his old friend Chez Damier. The story begins with a rescue mission, as Eddie drives from Manchester to London to help Chez, whose flight got canceled, and ensures he reaches his gig on time. After an unforgettable night of camaraderie and music-making, they record soulful vocals that eventually become the classic track, "I Am With You". Recently, Eddie revisits these cherished memories, unearths the archived stems, and crafts "Pressure" with an unhurried and captivating groove, enriched by Chez's soulful vocals under his alias, Kids In The Streets. The result is a musical gem that captures the essence of friendship and spontaneity, delivering a timeless reminder of the extraordinary creations that can emerge from chance encounters and shared passion for music.
