Review: Belgian producer Le Babar has spent the last decade dividing his time between making loopy disco-house, tooled up scalpel edits and top notch underground house music. "Express Your Needs" marks his first appearance on the mighty Midnight Riot and is naturally packed to the rafters with bouncy peak-time treats. He naturally brings the funk on rubbery, housed-up disco revision "Express Your Needs" - all crunchy Clavinet lines, elastic beats, fizzing slap bass and sweet chorus vocals - before applying the same rework principles to a colourful '80s soul gem on "Where Is The Love". If that kind of hard-wired, synth-heavy action is your thing - think vintage Jam & Lewis productions with added oomph and a few carefully placed filter sweeps - then closing cut "Be With Me" should be right up your alley.
