Review: Lush, lilting liquid rhythms preside across DV8's Call My Name EP as Soul Deep live up to their namesake once again. First up is the title track, which is full of soft, breezy vocals, chiming keys and gently pattering drums. Next is "Crazy" which is a more unnerving number, shaking things up with juddering rhythms and glistening SFX, and then there is "Music Solves The Problem" which is another enticing cut with rolling beats, lush melodies and plenty of feel-good factor. "What About Us" brings the EP to a finish with hissing hi hats, rolling b-line and contemplative questioning.
Review: Three remixes of DV's "It's Over Now" feature on the latest release from Gridlock'd. DJ Lapell kicks things off with a upbeat funky house reworking, providing the perfect backdrop for the original's soulful guitar and smooth vocals. Delinquent's remix takes things down a bassline garage route, blending deep low end with sharp 2-step rhythms. Perhaps the best however, is Bunnky Boy's dancehall inspired rework, combining percussive snares and a bumping bassline that changes the character of the original into something quite special indeed.
