Review: There's a serious amount of musical heat to be found on the latest edition of Public Release's occasional multi-artist EP series. It's the San Francisco-based imprint's first exercise of this sort since 2016 and contains a sextet of must-check tunes. Amongst the many highlights are a creepy, sub-heavy, bleep-influenced number from Richard Sen (the rather good 'Abstract Dance'), a typically dreamy and positive trip into immersive deep house territory from Earth Boys ('EBoys 2020'), Fran-Key's throbbing, Italo-influenced late night hypnotism ('Summer Into Winter'), and the enveloping, opaque electronics and dusty, all-action grooves of Metropolitan Soul Museum's 'Stoneman'. An impressive snapshot of where the label's at, which is a place we'd like to be.
