It’s alright is this, and plays across the deep house divide as well as the breaks hinterland. A game of two halves some would say, well that’s how I would term it. Both ‘Track & Trace’ and ‘The Leyton House Track’ fall into the first category, and although both do what is expected of them, Silverlining’s remix has more depth and messiness potential, with ‘Track & Trace’ opting for a more high end approach. Both ‘Purple Gloves’ and ‘Switcheroo (Jeigo Remix)’ occupy different places on the breaks spectrum, with the former’s haunting ambience and well-developed flange and the bubbling, acidic blossoming of the latter helping each track to evolve in diverging, but equally effective, ways.
