PCRD003

A 4 track house ep (22m 41s) — released March 11th 2013 on Paradise Club Recordings

PCR003 The 3rd multi-artist/genre EP kicks off in a surprising direction with 'Last Days of Rome' by Jabru (Bruh Jackman/Sound of the Cosmos) the original of which features Joshua Idehen but found here on the digital as instrumental only, with it's melodically spiced, sluggish groove, and almost neo-dancehall rhythm. Administering the perfect antidote in remix form, Bristol's Hodge (Outboxx/Deadplate/Idle Hands) ups the tempo a notch and delivers a hand crafted raw hitter that smacks so hard it should really come with a standard issue neck brace. On the flip Londoner Blacksmif (BlahBlahBlah/Space HArdware) serves up his welcome second contribution to the label in the shape of 'Gavelock'. A gloriously uplifting garage tipped house number that builds through rolling percussion and Blacksmif's almost trademark layers of rich synth and vocal textures, to a wall of sound finale that should have even the coldest of toes tapping. Closing out the wax is 4x4 funk workout 'Solace State' by Juno Sutton & MTD. A jacking slice of 80's tinged house that if this is anything to go by, then the future looks very bright indeed for these two.

A twisted classic - Mixmag

one would be hard pressed to find any missteps anywhere on the EP, which bodes well not only for this young label, but for the interesting circle of rising artists that surrounds it - Xlr8r
