Review: Sasha brings us collection of tracks that have featured in his Spotify playlist series of the same name, which is oriented towards midtempo, contemplative but still beats-driven cuts spanning breaks, ambient and leftfield electronica. While much is being made of this "new direction", a more cynical observer might say it's the first CD of 'Northern Exposure' plus drums; all the same, there's much to enjoy here if you're in a laidback kinda mood, with standouts including MJ Cole's haunting, fractured 'Maestro' and Cortese's 'Circles' with its air of restrained menace. The album also includes two fresh cuts from The Man Like himself, 'Corner Shop' and recent single 'HDNI'.
Review: UK house and garage legend MJ Cole breezes into 2021 with this skipping, sweet and ethereal number "Maestro" - a track that until now was exclusive to Sascha's LUZoSCURA compilation via Alkaane. Given its own release, the track sees a medley of vocals combine in staccato fashion that is both euphoric and melancholic. A subtle and effective number for contemporary music landscapes.
