Only up to their thirteenth release, and clearly favouring quality over quantity, France’s Joule Imprint further their mission to spread linear, full bodied, groove-laden cosmis house music to the masses with this, their latest release, courtesy of Sota. Now, while it wouldn’t be fair of me to say that all releases on this label sound the same, there is definitely a sound that’s being pushed here. And if your taste in house music runs to deep, druggy, dubby, warm and trancey, then there is no better place to call. Sota, a Dutch producer currently based in Berlin is in control of the beats here, and turns in a textbook four tracker full of depth and emotiveness. Tech house has become a negatively charged genre in recent years, largely due to the genre not really existing, and a gap being filled by any old shite. However, if I reminisce over my days spent sweating out good quality class a’s under the archways of London Bridge station, it was largely when dancing to music like this. So, without going into unnecessary and boring detail, the first three tunes here all have that vibe, with ‘Strobe Society’ inexplicably going down the road of what feels a little like Good Looking era drum and bass. It’s all good, but put it out on a different release. Another reason to buy digital.
