Hallelujah - (6:00)
120 BPM Boogaloo - (5:49) 118 BPM
Review: Following hot-to-trot outings on Midnight Riot, Big Love and Purple Disco Records, former Soundcloud edit king Motte pops up on Re-Loved with a seriously good two-track missive. First up is "Hallelujah", a warm, groovy and celebratory chunk of peak-time house rich in eyes-closed electric piano solos, rubbery disco bass, sampled preacher-man spoken word vocals, bongo breaks and life-affirming cowbells. It's ace, all told, as is the baggier disco-house cut "Boogaloo". This, too, is pleasingly percussive, with sweaty additional drum hits and sweaty backing vocals rising above jaunty synth riffs, dreamy chords, jangling piano riffs and sampled disco orchestration. It sits somewhere between a remix and a re-edit; more importantly, it's something of a bouncy, all-action treat.
