One Records marl almost a half century of releases with another various artist compilation featuring an eclectic range of tunes within the deep house/breakbeat blueprint. And while everything is very well realised, those tracks which make the most immediate impression stand out that little bit more than the rest. So it’s quite difficult because everything is so useful and manages to put its own little twist on whatever it graces. However, ‘Hearing Voices (Club Mix)’ by Ciel & Kilig is the most interesting track here, for me at least. Managing to make me imagine as well as tap my toes. I like the way ‘ Ridin Switch’ by Duowe Picasso soars effortlessly, but it lack a little edge. Sam Bangura’s ‘€±§’ is rhythmically interesting and nicely off beat on occasion. ‘Cut The Cheese’ by Yamen EDA is cosmic house very much in the vein of Janeret, and there’s always space in the mix for something like it. ‘Organic Affaire’ by MARIIIN is beaks backed by prominent keys which, while functional, feels soft, and Subb-an’s ‘Silver Cut’ is a tracky piece of work that, while it works very well indeed, (like everything here), feels a bit too refined. All good though and well worth your shekels.
