PELLE Vinilo y CD

Review: Joy Came Early or as it wants to be known JCE is a brand new imprint that signs Pelle for the first outing. The Dutch artist is also an audio engineer at Time Item Studio who has dropped heat on the likes of Picnic Records, Ovnie, Vekton Black and his own playground Karton label which he launched in 2011 with David van Bilderbeek. Here he offers the mysterious and cosmic tech house bumps of 'Slapdash Intermission' which becomes heavier and widescreen thanks to the Man/Ipulate remix. Two further originals feature on the flip with 'Double Standard' locking into a nice dynamic but zoned-out tech house sound and 'Ghosting' getting more gritty. A fine start to label life.
