Review: We were suitably impressed by Mood J's sun-kissed Distant Hawaii debut - 2017's "Turn Your Love Around" - so hopes are naturally high for this belated sequel. Once again the producer has good times on his mind, with opener "Looking Further" offering a warm and groovy blend of punchy percussion, chunky synth bass and headline-grabbing vocal samples from a much-loved '80s soul favourite. There's a little more vintage U.S garage swing to hazy deep house bumper "Looking Forward", while the Loleatta Holloway-sampling "Don't Cha" is ultra-deep, heavy and locked-in in the best possible way. Rounding things off is "Tribute", a bouncy throwback to the mid-90s Italian house rich in stabbing acid riffs, sweet chords and sun-kissed melodic touches.
