Agenda EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Bertrand Contador
Review: Reading-based label Soulserious are back with the ever elusive Louie John, who serves up some sensual and sublime deep house on the Agenda EP. From the icy and dub infused tech of "Cortee" sounding like a cross between Booka Shade and Echonomist, there's the respectful nod to UK 2-step on the infectious title track, to the classic deep house of "Jazz Top" with its creamy keys amd swung beats, and ending with the emotive mood music of "Mind Free" - this is another impressive outing yet again by the Soulserious staple.

Villains EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends Deep House
Review: Top-notch house retro-futurist Louie John has been on fire of late, with his last EP - October 2019's "Just Feel", delivering just the right blend of deep house nous and serious UK garage flavour. He sticks to the script on "Villians", his first outing of 2020. Grasping seductive organ stabs, woozy chords and swinging beats with both hands, John first glides us through the 4/4 garage deepness of "Villains", before joining the dcots between Chez Damier and New Jersey garage sexiness on "Valley Vibes". "Bring Your Love" is a bolder and more bombastic pumper blessed with ricocheting percussion hits and serious sub-bass, while "Stay With Me" wraps drowsy chords and opaque vocal samples around an undulating Latin house groove.

Just Feel EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: So it would appear that Soulserious have unearthed somewhat of a gem of a project here as they invite in Louie John across five newly design UKG rollers, the title track of which takes the name 'Just Feel', packing a groovy punch, laced with catchy vocal slaps. The super spacey tones of 'Have You No More' arrive on the scene next, followed by the high energy percussive convulsions of 'White Label' and more minimal drum arrangements of 'No Escape' a well thought out piece of original UKG material. We finish up with the super clean drum switches of 'Corrections', giving us a super colourful final lap to round everything off.

I Owe You EPEXCLUSIVE
Review: Following two years away, Soulserious founder Louie John returned to action in the summer with an EP that demonstrated his growing maturity as a producer. The "I Owe You EP" is similarly impressive with John unleashing four more cuts of the highest quality. Our pick of a very strong bunch is the title track, where the Reading producer cannily combines the bluesy, horizontal deep house warmth of "Boulevard"-era St Germain with the rhythm swing, sub-bass weight and cut-up vocal samples of UK garage. He explores similar sonic territory on the more musically expansive and dreamy "Fabrique", before doffing a peaked cap towards the bouncy, ear-pleasing goodness of Ibadan man Jerome Sydenham on closing cuts "Charmer" and "Long Time" (the latter of which is particularly breezy and melodious).

Speeding EPEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends UK Garage
Review: This guy has settled in with Reading UKF label Soulserious like a comfy pair of old slippers. Why not when they totally support his sound, to the point where his EPs are now bordering on mini-LPs! "Speeding" features six new joints all revealing his finely honed production skills. He blends slick, jazzy pads with shuffling garage beats that often veer into a sleazy tech-house side of town, and there's always a few retro nods to the good old 90s.

Sweet Days epEXCLUSIVE
Played by: Juno Recommends UK Garage
Review: From one of the most reliable labels out there for smart, sprightly UKF and jacking bass, Soulserious drops an extensive six track EP from Louie John. Sweet Days runs the gamut of modern styles, from the bounce of "Want U Back" through to the hazy Rhodes soul of "Sessions". Check it.
