Grass Roots EP004
ASR10 - (6:35) 122 BPM Hot
Alesis - (5:14) 122 BPM
What We R (Underground) - (6:49) 122 BPM
TXstacy (M87 mix) - (5:35) 122 BPM
Review: Over the course of his career to date, sometime Strictly Rhythm and Lost My Dog man Kelvin K has proved adept at delivering timeless, feel good house music chock full of subtle - and sometimes not so subtle - references to a bygone era of dance music (most notably the 1990s). He's at it again on his latest EP, first doffing a cap towards New Jersey deep house dons Dream 2 Science on superb opener "ASR10", before casting loving glances in the direction of Larry Heard on the equally sumptuous "Alesis". Elsewhere, "What We R (Underground)" offers a near perfect combination of tactile synth bass, dreamy chords and turn-of-the-90s drums, while "TXstasy (M87 Mix)" is a slightly more bouncy number with a bassline that recalls late '80s Chicago house.

Grass Roots EP003
TXstacy (feat Charles Spencer - Da Keyz mix) - (6:33) 122 BPM
TXstacy (Arps & Minimoog mix) - (6:24) 120 BPM
Housecalls (PH5 mix) - (6:49) 122 BPM
Housecalls (Tha Basics mix) - (6:49) 122 BPM Hot
Review: Los Angeles' Kelvin K has released on respected labels such as Strictly Rhythm, Lost My Dog, Nordic Trax, Hudd Trax and more, but here he brings us the third release from his fledgling Grass Roots imprint, which features two tracks in four mixes. 'TXstacy' is a classic-style deep houser made up of warm bass, unhurried beats, pads, chords and female vocal snips, and is served in Da Keyz and Arps & Minimoog mixes, while 'Housecalls' has a Body & Soul-ish deep tribal feel in Tha Basics Mix form, before the PH5 Mix injects a dose of bubblin' acid, both featuring the same spoken male vocal namechecking house classics of yore.

Grass Roots EP002
Lifts Me - (6:15) 124 BPM Hot
2B Free - (6:28) 124 BPM
The Under - (7:27) 124 BPM
Review: Kelvin K returns with more "Grass Roots" tracks shot through with misty-eyed audio references to good-time dance music from the 1990s. He begins in confident mood by wrapping elongated chords, fizzing riffs and stabbing female vocal samples around a skipping, New Jersey garage-influenced deep house groove on "Lifts Me" (think Mateo & Matos's turn-of-the-millennium fare on Glasgow Underground and you're close), before opting for a little more hip-swinging UK garage flavour on the Grant Nelson-esque bump of "2B Free". To round things off, he reaches for the booming bass and hard-wired funk samples on chunky peak-time filter-house stomper "The Under", which some in the Juno office thought sounded a little like Basement Jaxx's early work on Atlantic Jaxx.

Grass Roots EP001
Deeper - (6:28) 124 BPM
The Disco - (5:56) 124 BPM Hot
My Love - (7:33) 124 BPM
Review: A three-track EP here that blends influences from deep house, garage and disco to excellent effect. 'Deeper' is a nostalgic cut that takes us back to the earliest 'Sunday scene' days of UK garage - think Tuff Jam, Nice N' Ripe - with its skippy beats, chunky bassline, organ parps and chopped 'n' looped fem vox. 'The Disco' then fast-forwards a few years to the filter disco era of the late 90s (but not in too obvious/cheesy a fashion), while completing the EP is 'My Love', whose ominous, single-organ-chord opening sets the tone for the lush, Heard-style deepness that follows.
