The UK's currently most reliable outlet for rolling tech house surely can't go wrong with an EP by a fellow named Joe Rolet now, can it? The London-based artist has a strong passion for low end bass and club music with a cosmic twist, as heard on his imprint Planetary Notions. It's all killer no filler on the "Maximum Width EP", from the groovy boompty-funk of the title track and its infectious RnB vocal samples, followed by some hypnotic afterhours minimal as heard on "Rounding" which is reminiscent of Freak 'N' Chic material from the mid noughties. On the flip, label staple Rich NxT delivers a stomping rework of the title track which is sure to bang the party, followed by the swing-fuelled tripper "Amber Road" that will mix well with your iO (Mulen) or Jack Wickham records - tip!
