Review: In the 21 years since he made his debut, Frenchman Franck Roger has rightly earned a reputation for being one of deep house's most reliable producers - as well as one of the most prolific. In recent times he's taken to delivering digital editions of some of his previously vinyl only classics. That's what's on offer here: a belated download edition of his much-loved 2007 single 'Circles'. The title track is sublime, with Roger wrapping warming, looped chords and spacey electronic motifs around a deliciously hypnotic, subtly percussive groove. Virtual flipside 'The Hill' offers a brighter, breezier and even more life-affirming take on the same kind of deep and hypnotic vibe, which tips a wink to the similarly inclined early 2000s productions of Lars Bartkuhn's Needs collective.
