Review: It would be fair to say that Demarkus Lewis knows his way around a studio. Since debuting way back in 1999, Lewis has delivered countless deep and soulful house classics for labels including Brique Rouge, Nordic Trax, Lost My Dog, Salted Music and, most recently, Large Music. Here he debuts on Kolour Recordings via an expansive EP that pairs four fresh cuts with a quintet of remixes. Of Lewis's originals, we're fondest of 'Mystic Vibes', a superb combination of bustling beats, heavy analogue bass and jazzy musicality, the pitched down boogie-flavoured house excitement of 'From Me' and the simply delicious 'Holy Ghost'. The accompanying remixes are great, too, with our picks including Oscar P's muscular jazz-house version of 'Holy Ghost' and Kai Alice's deliciously smooth rework of 'Mystic Vibes'.
