Germany's always reliable Room With A View crew round off 2011 with a split EP featuring a variety of deliciously deep cuts. For many, the headline attraction will be Motor City Drum Ensemble's curiously distant "Satellites" - any cut from Danilo Plessow is worth a listen - but there's plenty to get excited about elsewhere. XXXXX's "State 808" sits snugly alongside the recent wave of deep house cuts that sample old R&B vocals, while Marino Beradi's "Best Intention" simply sparkles from the speakers like the best underground Detroit techno. Nowakowski's "Pet In My Sea" has its moments, too, thanks largely to some distant vocal samples and glistening piano motifs.
