Review: We're not sure that rising star James Shinra has ever released anything quite as inspired as this first EP for Feel My Bicep. Opener "Signs" is superb: a melodious and ear-catching affair that wraps IDM and ambient techno style electronic motifs around a deep, chunky and fluid house groove. "Arc", the track that follows, is similarly minded, with cascading Boards of Canada style melodies and psychedelic electronics bubbling away atop a futuristic house groove. That's given a thoroughly dirty and sleazy bleep techno style makeover by Benjamin Damage before John Beltran offers his interpretations of "Signs". There's the gorgeous deep electro loveliness of the "80s Reset Mix" and the rushing deep house sunshine that is the sublime "Easy Summer Mix".
