Review: Marcel Vogel makes his first appearance on Shall Not Fade, joining forces with previously unheard vocalist/producer Tim Jules for an expansive EP of high-quality, musically rich workouts. They begin by hooking up with Alexander Arslan on 'If You Don't Love', a wonderfully tactile, soulful and organic-sounding slab of vocal deep house, before enlisting the help of Khadija on the mid-tempo boogie-house shuffle of 'This Is When I Leave'. Hector Winjbergen lends a hand on the synth-happy, bass guitar-propelled brilliance of 'Why Don't You Leave Me' (an instrumental mix of which is tucked away at the end of EP), while 'Like a Fish In The Water' is a hard-boiled, bluesy house stomper full of addictive Clavinet licks and not so subtle nods to Prince style purple funk.
