Review: If there's one area in which Jerome Sydenham's Ibadan label excels, it's extra percussive deep house dubs. This second Deep Strokes compilation gathers together more of Ibadan's greatest late night drum dubs and bleary eyed deep house, throwing in cuts from some of Sydenham's new Berlin friends - the likes of Argy (who contributes three exquisite dubs) and Radio Slave (whose "X-Beat" is a stripped-back delight). Naturally, the standard is high throughout, with Clausell's vintage remix of Ten City's "All Loved Out" - five minutes of beautiful, beatless piano, followed by six minutes of brilliantly programmed afro-house percussion - standing out. Sydenham's own afro-jacker "Jango 01" is pretty special, too.
