Jay Shepheards Retrofit imprint reaches its seventh release with this fine EP of old school sounds with an undeniably modern feel. >Hefty Done Me Right< begins proceedings with a house-disco hybrid sporting a particularly meaty analogue bassline, 80s electro vocal samples and shimmering pop synths, while >The Electric Model< marries a distinctly Kraftwerk-esque motorik vibe with Balearic disco sweeps and horns. On the flip, >One Night In Puzon< opens with a tense rising string line, broken with a crystalline piano mosaic and deep squelching bass. Finally, TW closes proceedings with his own dub take on >Hefty Done Me Right<, amping up the electro feel of the original with an MPC cut-up style reworking filled with heavy vocal samples and rolling piano stabs, transplanting the original from its Italian roots to 80s Harlem.
