Review: With the scorching summer sun in full effect, Craig James has timed his return to perfection, putting together a super vibey UKG four tracker, designed to refresh the terraces around the country. We kick off with vibrant flavours of 'Far Away' in collaboration with Karl Brown before slipping into the super colourful patterns on 'Right 4 Me'. Next up we roll into Karl Brown's second collaboration appearance on the mega bouncy 'Get Me' before finishing the EP up on the old school organ chords and vocal stabs of 'Take Me Up'. Grab the barbecues and set up your sound system for this one!
Review: Germany's Philly Vanilli has been around since forever, it seems, but to these ears - and they're ears that have reviewed plenty of his previous releases for this very website - this new set of reworks for Deep Disco Edits is the best work he's turned out so far. He's working with some very well-known source tracks here, so there's no point insulting your intelligence by enumerating them: suffice to say that somehow he's managed to tease the funk out of these much-loved classics in a way that, in some cases, even the original artists didn't manage. Ohio Players' 'Love Rollercoaster' was, admittedly, always a personal fave of yours truly but in PV's hands it becomes a truly exceptional 10 minutes of sheer funk joy, while his reworkings of Marvin, Kool & The Gang and The Temptations are equally impressive. Essential!
