Review: It's been two years since we heard from Simon Garcia, a producer who last appeared on Steve Bug's Poker Flat in 2012. Here the Spaniard embraces loops and repetition by delivering a deeper take on disco-influenced, Tiger & Woods-styled house music, with the title-track grooving with chimes and octave jumping Rhodes to appease the Saturday night crowd. "How Long" is a heavy disco burner you can imagine DJ Harvey using to light up a festival set, while Mathew Styles delivers a minimal remake of "Radians" laced with a huge dose of euphoria.
Review: There's only a handful of artists who focus specifically on garage these days, with the majority opting for the hybrid approach. While there's nothing wrong with that option, Scott Garcia like the traditional, swinging approach that was pioneered in Britain back in the mid 90s, and its safe to say that he knows his material in and out. "Smoke & Mirrors" is a classic dance joint with that wavy bass that has so much to say about the scene's ode to the golden era of rave, whereas "Sovereign" pays homage to the grime massive in what makes for a banging dub for the heads. Badboy gear.
