Watchin', WaitingPomme Frite
Driving, no-nonsense disco-house is the order of the day on this three-tracker from Reece Johnson, who over the past 10 years has built up a healthy back catalogue of releases on the likes of Nervous, Midnight Riot, Tropical Disco, Lisztomania, Plastik People and Delve Deeper. 'Don't Want It' goes straight for the jugular with pounding 4/4s and synth-strings that just don't stop, 'Watchin', Waiting' itself treads a slightly deeper, funkier path and sports some fine diva wails, but the standout for yours truly is 'Jim's Vision', which maintains the tempo but has a slightly more musical edge, and which is topped with spoken vocal fragments from a certain Mr Morrison...

Their collective experience and pedigree shine through clearly on 'Look At The Stars', but if soulful vocal belters aren't your thing then fear not because there's an accompanying, self-explanatory Moog Dub that's to die for.

Let It GoLocal Talk
Those who like musically expansive, jazz-funk influenced deep house loveliness should already be aware of Thomas Laroye's slim but impressive catalogue, which includes notable outings on Freerange and Atjazz Record Co. Here the French producer delivers his debut album, an inspired eight-track set that perfectly encapsulates the summery, sun-soaked excellence of his work. Expect soulful songs, broken house beats, kaleidoscopic jazz-funk and boogie synths, mazy instrumental solos and audible references to classic U.S garage and New Jersey house. Highlights include (but are in no way limited to) Javontte hook-up 'Let It Go', the shuffling samba-house flex of 'People Out There', the Kaidi Tatham-esque 'Grateful' and the synth solo-sporting heaviness of 'Get Down (The Moonfunk Dub)'.
