Review: Dogger's Precinct hits its tenth release in true style with this beautiful VA from some of the label's nearest and dearest rolling out with soulful grace. Every track is a highlight as Dogger and Tyler link-up once again for the heart-breaking 'Try Again', LSB goes in deep and driving with his dream 'Dixieland' while Funktional makes his label debut with the sultry late night stalker 'Chemistry'. Elsewhere Zed Bias, Chimpo & Salo create pure soul gold with the essential summer bubbler 'Started With You', Minstate and Verbz get on the dusty jazz samples and fuse that hip-hop vibe on 'Get A Move On' and Think Tonk close the EP with the wavey and emotional 'Coastal Service'. Here's to the next 10 releases.
Review: Mindstate is the first artist on Dogger's new Precinct imprint, a label grounded in urban sonics and aesthetics which is highly likely to produce some fantastic music. At least if this first single is anything to go by, anyway, as liquid master Mindstate rolls out across two deft cuts that blend grit and soul in a manner few artists can pull off. 'Seven Satellites' is crystal clear jungle on a mission, with precise break work that feels pure and clean, backed up as it is by punchy bass stabs and a stripped back arrangement. The flip rolls things out, a liquid number with nonchalant piano touches at its core and a sense of relaxation that permeates your every pore. Subtle yet brilliant.
