Review: Byron The Aqurius's first outing on House of Underground is a typically expansive affair, with six slices of proper deepness to enjoy. Notably, it boasts a trio of collaborations: a drowsy slab of ultra-deep, soulful house brilliance featuring superb lead vocals from Lailah ('Time To Real'); some sub-heavy sci-fi deep house made in cahoots with Motor City hero Kyle Hall ('Evolution'); and a hook-up with mind-mangling house and techno hero Jordan GCZ (he reverb-laden bass, crispy machine drums, jazzy keys and spacey solos of EP highlight 'Monkeyshop'). Elsewhere, he presents delay-laden, late-night dancefloor dubs of 'People of Kemet' and 'Rain; (a more skippy, US garage-influenced number), and drifts his way through classic deep house pastures on 'Fallenquas'.
Review: Since surfacing in 2020 with a Boo Williams EP that saw other records from Scan 7 and Byron The Aquarius follow - it's clear this Paris label knows what's up in the mid-west of America. For its fifth release the label welcomes the return of Detroit's Filthiest - who delivered 003 - with four acid-based, warehouse and club-sized electro, funk and piano p[ieces. Familiar to labels like Defected and Moveltraxx too, there's a definite deep house and ghetto tech edge to the music on Follow The Leader - soul tracks from Detroit's Filthiest for real.
