The Return Trip Volume 3 vinyl

More sumptuous house moves from the Bind Jack's Journey crew on this third round of The Return Trip series which features contributions from a cast of lesser known production talents. There's something immediately gratifying about the emotive weight to opener "Dul Doen" from Yrd, the manner in which the synth lines seem to sear out of the channels grabs you willingly. From here Thom Brooke discards with drums in favour of toying playfully with vast clouds of synthesized texture which still emit a rhythmic pulse making "Penway" a good way to bridge a set. If you buy house music on wax you will probably recognise Ian Blevins from his work as part of Al Gobi; present here in a solo capacity, "AA" finds Blevins laying down a dreamy, loose little jacking number which contrasts nicely with the stripped back icy melodic electro of "Lacanau" by Causa.
