Review: French DJ/producer Mira Lo shot to international fame with her debut Pont Neuf EP 'Memories' last year. Now she's back with the five-track 'Tribute To Chicago', which was apparently inspired by "an artistic and personal retreat at the heart of the mythical city where house music was born". But don't expect reverential old skool Chi-town house vibes here: instead, the EP's five tracks mix and match influences from house, nu-disco, synth-pop and juke/footwork, all rollicking along at a fair old lick and all sporting Ms Lo's own vocals. The standout for yours truly is 'A Night In Chicago', which does have something of a Larry Heard-ish feel but has hints, too, of UK garage.
