Review: Shades of Sound Recordings have turned to young French producer Harrington - a lover of deeply dreamy, emotive and nostalgic house music - for their latest release. He sets his stall out with title track 'Too Late To Dream', a gorgeously colourful and authentic tribute to late '80s Italian dream house, before Joe Morris joins the dots between Don Carlos and street soul on his accompanying remix. Breezier late '80s piano house flavours are the order of the day on 'Inner Story' and Lone Saxon's electro-break driven 'Street Rub', while 'Vision of Mind' is a tactile and smile-inducing slice of Italo-house excellence. Best of all, though is the slow-burn and ludicrously loved-up Akasha System rework of that track: a killer cut to end a genuinely superb EP.
Review: Harrington is something of a regular on Sheffield's finest deep house imprint Delve Deeper, but here he comes to St Petersburg-based Dobro with an EP comprising four tracks, two of which are collaborations with mystery man/woman Heavy Jo, with whom he previously worked on the 'Spaceship' EP. 'Hold On' is a summery, uplifting, piano-sprinkled houser, the chunkier 'You Gonna Be Mine' revisits a familiar Jocelyn Brown vocal, 'Pleasures' is a late-night drifter with subtle hints of acid and finally 'Raw Lines' takes a bite from a Class Action classic. Good stuff all round, so look out too for the same twosome's forthcoming 'Acid Knockout' EP on Mole Music.
