Review: Handsome Mr Ransome has made a very interesting genre-conversion in the last two years: from firing hard dance to liquid D&B lushness. Switches don't come any clearer or bolder, especially when they're executed with such confidence and clarity. His Soul Deep debut, both cuts breeze and bluster with 170 styles: "Feeling Sorry For Myself" counters dreamy drifty horns with early Bukem-style arpeggios and deep smouldering subs while "Can't See Holy" takes a jazzier route with delicate vocals from Young Dikaiko, a slippery double bass bassline and more evocative horn work. Good looking.

Deeper again SynthForce & DJ Ransome get twisted on a Mind Vortex-style bass freak-out and Sl8r chops, pops and double drops with the stuttering, glitched-out Think break led stepper. Long may Sub-Woofah's explorations continue...
