Review: The latest compilation on Murmur shows that more than ever, classic house sounds are on the menu. This is audible from the offset with James Jones's Watercooler remix of Tom Demac's "Crewcuts & Curls", where a jacking, stripped back Chicago track underpins an NY-style vocal rant. The Windy City's wigged out sound is also present on Luke Solomon's Razor version of the same Demac track, but on that occasion it's warm, trippy acid rather than jacking rhythms that dominates. However, the real highlights occur when the compilation focuses on the deeper house sound. The Solomon remix of Claire Ripley's "Slow Loris" and the Wolf + Lamb take on Tom Demac's "In Your Eyes" are gloriously spacey grooves, based on woozy chords and throbbing basslines, but the true jewel in the crown here is the rolling, vocal-led, deep fried disco of Lee Curtiss's version of Lewie Day's "That's The Thing".
