Review: Romanian producer Grigore Daniel has enjoyed an intriguingly diverse career. The 29 year-old first found fame back in the mid '90s, as a young producer of trance and techno. He's mellowed a little with age, and now finds himself creating slo-mo and midtempo blends of dreamy deep house and wide-eyed disco. There's much to enjoy on this EP for Hotbox Music's Hotbox Boogie offshoot, from the woozy, undulating grooves of opener "Enigma", to the organ-laden disco shuffle of "Ghost Hunter" and pitched-down, bass-heavy beauty of twinkling bonus cut "The Nightfall". There's also some seriously sexy disco-deep house fusion to be found on MTYU's excellent remix of "Enigma".
Review: Having proved more than adept at delivering contemporary re-jigs of disco, soul and electrofunk obscurities, the Editorial crew continue to blur the boundaries between re-edits and original production with a decidedly laidback, groovesome EP of summery tracks. Predictably, there's much to enjoy, from the baggy, organ-and-guitar heavy deep disco goodness of Tonbe's "Letter From The Past", to the horizontal listening pleasures of Sunner Soul's slo-mo surprise "Caribbean Wind". In between, you'll find a range of tasty, floor-friendly morsels, including the delay-laden piano party of SonicVibe's "No Cure" and the rolling disco heaviness of Martin Hayes' "Mesmerized".
Review: Having previously danced the night away, the extended musical family behind the Editorial imprint sit down together for a nice spot of Sunday Brunch. In practice, that means a slightly deeper, groovier flex than some previous outings. There's plenty to enjoy, though, from the low-slung mutant nu-disco of JKriv's "Something Special" and the tumbling goodness of Sonicvibe's "Wet Level" (based on Rick James' "Cold Blooded"), to the original boogie sweetness of DJ Butcher's "All My Dub" (a much-needed tweak of Major Harris's long-forgotten "All My Life"). Of course, there are a couple of peaktime stompers, with Feza's Bohannon-ish "Feel Like" standing out.
