Review: Originally scheduled for a December release, here at last come the remixes for a Situation/Andre Espeut collab that first landed back in November. The original sat somewhere on the mod-soul-acid jazz spectrum, but the remixes take us down a more uptempo route. Fingerman's Version Excursion gets the ball rolling and has something of a laidback, Nang-style nu-disco feel, before Soulfuledge bring us a percussion-led, Afro-tinged house rerub. Groovement Inc's take sits towards the broken beat end of the soulful house spectrum, before Ash Reynold steps up with a Balearic-leaning deep house take that for this reviewer is the pick of the crop.

Review: Vocalist Andre Espeut has appeared on so many Situation releases that we're genuinely not sure if he's officially a member of the band or not! Here they hook up once again, and suffice to say if you've dug any of their previous outings you'll probably be feeling this one too. Situation's uniquely soulful take on contemporary disco/boogie is in full effect on the original, a Vocal Reprise will please the more creative jocks, Ron Basejam drags us into a sweaty basement on his druggier, chuggier rub, and finally fellow scene stalwarts Chevals come with a mellower take that lets the vox and strings shine through.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: West Country heroes Situation have kept it local on their latest EP, which offers up a suite of previously unheard re-rubs of Andre Espeut hook-up "Beyond Compare" by Bristol-based house hero Sean McCabe. It starts with vocal and instrumental interpretations built around warming, mood-enhancing chords, jangly piano riffs, unfussy beats and the kind of slick, ear-catching electronic bassline more associated with Atjazz productions. Then McCabe offers up a superb "Vocal Reprise" take that sounds a little "fuller" and more energy-packed (thanks in part to his use of more urgent-sounding vocal snippets and grandiose chord sequences), as well as a brilliantly dreamy and locked-in Dub that sounds a little like one of Frankie Knuckles' classic remixes. The final bonus treat is definitely worth some special attention too.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: For the second time, Stroud collective Situation joins forces with golden-voiced singer Andre Esput and asks, "What Is Going On?" Some of their many producer pals provide sterling remixes of the Cotswolds crew's tasty original version, which hit stores back in June. The Andromeda Orchestra step up first with a low-slung, party-hearty disco-funk version that expertly channels the spirit of Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up", before West Country deep house veterans BRS offer up a smooth, warm and groovy revision tailor made for sun-kissed afternoons, humid evenings and sweat-soaked nights. To round things things off in style, Bitter Suite peppers a broken beat influenced house groove with jazz-funk synths, spacey chords and just the right amount of warming slap bass.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: UK edit maestro Situation usually cloaks himself in a noticeable disco look, but this new EP for Situationism sees the artist adopt a more house-centric guise, backed by the effervescent vocals and charisma of Andre Espeut. The duo's "Not So Crazy" is a quirky, disco-friendly house chugger with a sublimely tropical percussion and tied together by zesty boogie basslines. There's a whole artillery of remixers to boot: Peza rolls thorugh with a bit of electro house, Mr Mulatto drops a heartical Miracle dub, Audio Luxury offers a sweet, nostalgic garage sound, and Masterman ties it all off with some wavy, progressive hits of the drums. Top stuff!

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: Gloucestershire collective Situation continues to impress with their soul-soaked singles, which invariably join the dots between nu-disco, electrofunk and deep house. That's certainly the case on "Put The Rhythm In Your Life", where slick soul singer Andre Esput adds his honeyed tones to a midtempo electro-soul shuffler. Andre Espeut is in a bolder mood on "Kiss The Sky", wrapping his impassioned vocals around Prince style purple funk guitars, New Jersey organs and an unfussy house groove. Arguably best of all, though, is "Gonna Get Real Nice", whose combination of hushed vocals, dreamy deep house chord progressions and tumbling jazz guitar licks is reminiscent of fellow West Country outfit The Rurals.

Situation feat Andre Espeut
Review: 'Be a Better Man' is Situation's first outing on Situationism with new vocalist to the fold Andre Espeut bringing his unique vocal & song writing talents sparking an exciting collaboration with Situation's collective. After the successful "Get to Know Me" release on Nang late last year this is the 2nd release Situation have had with Andre & there is much more to come! 5 reasons bring us a funky filter drenched dancefloor pleaser in their inimitable style! The combination of their new style deep house with a sprinkling of nu disco & big production shows us again the talent that is 5 Reasons. The winning combination of Greg Wilson & Derek Kaye on the remix has delivered another beautiful deep dance floor winner! This heavy synth drenched groove has electro piano lines reminiscent of late 80's jams with a dubbed out breakdown before launching back into a bumping instrumental section to finish.
Californian West coast producer Juan Hoerni brings us his distinctive Latin house vibes with incredible flute & trumpet playing by David Soto from Puerto Rico, creating an infectious Hispanic house killer! Ourra take us on their 80's boogie down journey, keeping the vocals raw & cleverly cut up in snippets with a great driving bass groove that kicks with the snappy drums & percussion. Covered in 80's synths, this is a serious slice of boogie action!
