Review: Roam Recordings regular Jason Peters - AKA the artist formerly known as JP Soul - has delivered scores of fine EPs over the last few years, offering up an off-kilter, heavily electronic take on cosmic disco that tends towards the trippy. 'Lost In Space', his latest single, continues in this vein, with Peters' layering vintage, new wave and Italo style synth stabs - ofen smothered in tape delay - over a chugging, sequenced bassline and unfussy machine drums. The Juan MacLean opt for a pulsating, mind-altering dark-Italo sound on their top-notch remix, before Prins Thomas steals the show with a spiralling, stretched out 'Diskomiks' that sees the Norwegian veteran reach for his usual mixture of live percussion, dub disco grooves and off-kilter disco instrumentation.
Review: A three-track, five-mix EP here from the San Francisco-based DJ/producer formerly known as JP Soul, coming on his own Roam Recordings label. 'Broken' kicks us off in cosmic disco-meets-coldwave mode, all doomy chug and glacial synths, before getting a beefed-up remix courtesy of Shubostar that could take it onto the progressive/melodic house floors. 'Trifecta', similarly, starts out as an archetypal Italo throbber before being gifted some extra low-end heft by Singapore's Jonathan Kusuma on his Bass Mix. The EP's then completed by 'Time Division', which leans a little further towards the techno side of the street.
