Review: The legendary Detroit house maestro returns with a fresh batch of deep house gems that exude soul and finesse. The EP kicks off with 'Dusk Runner', where melodic keys dance over a subtle, jazzy undertone and a gentle funk that keeps the groove smooth yet vibrant. 'What I Gotta Do' picks up the pace slightly, blending vintage melodic sounds with a deep bassline that keeps things grounded, offering a classic yet refreshing vibe. On Side-2, 'Get That' delivers hypnotic, soulful energy with gentle rhythms that feel both soothing and invigorating. It's a track built for those blissful, sun-kissed moments. Closing out the release is 'Your Love Is', a track drenched in atmospheric richness, with airy melodies and a midtempo flow that invites deep reflection while keeping the dancefloor warm. Overall, this EP is a step above many in this style, blending crisp rhythms, soulful melodies and that unmistakable Detroit touch.

Review: French label Cairo Xpress debuts with a first-ever vinyl outing and a fine one it is too, with six stylish house outings from an array of fresh talents. Wilt's 'Beoyon' has lovely gloppy drums and bass looping under harmonic chords - it's simple but effective. Hermit gets more full-bodied with his textured 'Who Dunnit' and DOTT strips it back to bumping drum track workouts on 'Twitching Softly.' There is more irresistible bounce to Lucho's 'Mesh', Artphorm layers in some old school pianos to 'Daown' and HATT D shuts down with maybe the best of the lot, 'Contrasts In Life,' which is a broken beat, analogue sound with celestial energy.
