Review: Former Electric Press man Tom Taylor returns home, pitching up on 2020 Vision offshoot Fina for an expansive EP of slick contemporary deep house. Given his credentials, it's no surprise that there's plenty to admire, from the strings and piano stabs of the enveloping "Twilight", to the chunky grooves, flowing chords and choice vocal samples of "This World". "Don't Give Up", an eyes-wide-shut deep house chugger featuring Peter Gabriel vocal samples, also impresses. Remix-wise, there's a tasty, garage-influenced rub from hot young thing Jack Dixon, and a suitably wonky rub from late night wrong 'uns Clive Henry (Peace Division) and Rui Da Silva (remember him?).
Review: It's to the label's credit that they have managed to secure the services of Carl Cox for a rare remix. The DJ of the people distils all those things that he is known for - dense, tribal drums, soulful vocals and old school evocative synths - for a classic reshape on the border of house and techno. There's also a retro dynamic at play on Dirt Crew's version, with a heavy bassline building over a menacing synth and the ghostly original vocal repeated ad infinitum. Finally, Burnski's remix has a more contemporary feeling, but its tracky approach also makes reference to dance music's past thanks to its tight claps and deep, techy filtering.
