Review: Regular studio buddies Jazzman Wax and Iban Montero enjoyed a productive 2016, releasing sought-after tracks on such labels as Robsoul, Exploited, Nervous, MoodyHouse and Greenhouse Recordings. Here they join forces once more to deliver their first outing on Will Bailey's Simma Black. They begin in typically confident mood on "Hold Skul" [sic], layering rich organ stabs, swirling vocal samples and woozy chords atop a loose, sweaty and cymbal-heavy deep house rhythm track. The humid, sweat-soaked peak-time feel continues on "Red Road", a bumping, disco-influenced house smasher built around rubbery electric bass, effects-laden vocal samples, bouncy beats and rising horn motifs. This is shamelessly good-time music of the highest order.
