4 Tracks Of Soulful House, Deep House, Nu Disco - Rewoking Angie Stone , Pulse Lover That You are *& With It Guys
For the 7th release of their ever popular 'De Mixes' series, label head honchos Loveface return with four killer cuts.
From an '80s boogie take on a nu soul classic, to a smokey deep disco dub, all the way through to an electronic nu disco monster - it's crystal clear Loveface really mean business once again! Adding to this, they save the best until last with a '90s Italo house jam to round off the EP.
The joy of Loveface's 'De Mixes' series - for us, at least - is the spectacularly synth-laden sounds being re-edited and remixed. In truth, most re-edit series tend to ignore glossy '80s soul, kaleidoscopic freestyle and delay-laden proto-house, but Loveface frequently offers up reworks of tracks that fall into those categories. This seventh instalment in the series begins with a fantastically authentic, drum machine-driven re-wire of a smooth, FM synth-sporting '80s soul gem ('Smoke Chronic'), before smothering an already dubby chunk of proto-house era boogie in delay and reverb on the brilliant 'Lovedub'. Over on the flip 'Ninja Disco' is a grandiose chunk of delightfully over-the-top Hi-NRG hi-jinks, while 'Don't Get Carried Away' is a fine re-arrangement of a piano-powered slab of early NYC 'garage-house' of the sort that Larry Levan may well have championed.
