Ltd 20216 Repress ! Italian producers Steve Murphy and DJ Octopus are regular collaborators, and earlier this year released an excellent split EP on Chiwax. Here, they return to the much adored German imprint with a proper collaborative four-tracker. Theres much to admire, from the rush-inducing bounce of opener Track 1 and Mr Lee-ish cheekiness of Track 2 (check the 89 style riff, snappy drum machine groove and cut-up vocal samples), to the impeccable depth and sun-drenched warmth of the decidedly wide-eyed Track 3. Arguably best of all, though, is Track 4, which reimagines Sir James 1990 Strictly Rhythm classic Special as an immersive Chicago deep house jam.
