Mike Woods Review: Having previously established his reputation via a string of well received releases on Atop and Hot Digits, Massimo Vanoni has thrown his lot in with '80s Child's Masterworks Music imprint. Midtempo disco-funk throwdown "Wicked Funk" aside, the majority of the EP sees him explore slower territory, joining the dots between head-nodding warm-up fare and more chugging, slow house territory. "Respect" wraps fluttering flute lines around a sinewy, string-drenched disco groove, while "Get Up" is a toe-tapping disco-funk chugger blessed with spacey nu-disco synth flourishes. Best of all, though, is "Keep On", which sounds like a lost LTJ jam. It certainly has the same loose-but-loopy, slowly unfurling feel.
