‘Classy’ is an overused adjective when used to describe deep house. However, it’s the first word that involuntarily comes to mind when listening to this EP which, even though it is a various artists’ offering, finds each track united by the spirit of jazz and analogue warmth. Another thing is that although the jazz I like to listen to bears very little resemblance to what can be found within these grooves, there are enough residual inflections, encouraged by a driving rhythm, to maintain interest and movement. G-Prod’s ‘Horizon’ is my pick here. It’s a very useful piece of space funk which oozes panoramic magnitude. The whole EP is great though, with every track having been dipped in the Larry Heard gene pool, but offering something a little bit different respectively.
