Moxy Muzik Editions Vol 2 vinyl

The first volume in MOXY Muzik's Editions series of multi-artist EPs was an all-star affair, presented on glow-in-the-dark vinyl and released to celebrate the label's third birthday. This sequel is not such a grandiose affair but is every bit as alluring. Label founder Darius Syrossian handles side A, offering up the rave riff-sporting, warehouse-ready peak-time hedonism of 'Mercy Me' (very late 1990s - we approve). This comes backed by an excellent Jordan Masters remix that re-frames the track as a chunky slab of low-slung, bass-heavy deep house/tech-house fusion. Over on the flip, Reelow takes over. The more sparse, minimalistic, funky and acid-flecked 'Daft Prunk' appears first, swiftly followed by Mahony's Isolee inspired micro-house revision.
