Review: Amsterdam duo Windows is arguably rather more reliable than the operating system with which they share their name. So far, the twosome has not crashed, and this outing on Lorca's Live Ones label is more of a quick update than a hard reboot. "Disco Dreaming" sets the tone, offering a near perfect balance between lilting deep house dreaminess, sanguine Balearic warmth and disco-influenced tropical flourishes. It's arguably surpassed - in the peak-time stakes, at least - by the more stomping attractiveness of "Breakfast at Wendy's" and the breezy, soul-fired hip-hop/deep house fusion of "Some People Get It". Also well worth a listen is jazzy deep house closer "Sloppy Beat", in which the duo utilizes some seriously fine Blues samples and flashes of dub delay.
Review: London based Lorca moves away from the eclectic, melodic style he's been known for and returns with a new sound and aesthetic. He is back with a smashing new EP that is dedicated to the memory of the legendary singer songwriter Eddie Kendricks, who sadly passed away in 1992. Said by the artist himself to be a change of direction since previous releases, this collection of smokey and dusted down deep house jams are on the soulful and jazzy tip: just splendid! Starting off with the dope and funky late night groove of "No Chains On Me" which has a Pepe Braddock feel about it, as does the feelgood "Intimate Friend" with its chunky bassline, swinging rhythms and emotive elements.
