repress !! understood to be the work of earl jeffers, this fresh slice of white label edit goodness comes with four chopped up jams honed for ultimate dancefloor impact. first up is -thank you-, which takes a tough house backdrop and throws some fiery soul down on top of it in a manner you could imagine moodymann dropping with satisfaction. -badadu- meanwhile heads into a more delirious headspace, the sampling meeting with fierce showers of synth fx and a generally raucous arrangement. there are no prizes for guessing what -d-d-d- samples, but it does so with all the fireworks you would want from a house re-rub of such a classic. -the paper- makes for a fine finishing move with its choppy vocal slices and swooning strings.
