Review: If you're good for 'melodic' modular synth workouts right now, and instead are looking for more trad-style deep house goodness, then you need this EP in your life! Demarkus Lewis's remix of 'Your Love' gets the ball rolling in organ-led, garage-y fashion, 'Plough Hand' is a discofied, DiY-esque deep house excursion, 'Always There' takes a jazzier turn, Daniel Solar's remix of 'Take Your Time' with its Robert Owens-esque vocal will suit the soulful house floors and 'Down The Road' has a blues-tinged, St Germain-y feel. Stand-outs are subjective, so just be assured that this is classy stuff all round.

Review: "Last Summer", a warm and breezy chunk of nu-boogie business full of smooth vocals, wavy electric piano chords and D-Train style synth doodles, was undoubtedly one of the highlights of Soul Minority's recent sophomore album, II. Here it gets a deserved single release, alongside a swathe of new remixes. Oscar P kicks things off with the chunky, basement bothering stomp of the NY 2 Dtroit [sic] mix (a "stripped" dub version of which is also available), before Tokita reinterprets the French producer's original as a fluttering deep house bumper. Also impressive is Matthew Brian's midtempo nu-disco-meets-Chicago house version, though it's nowhere near as effortlessly joyous as Soul Minority's wonderful original.
