Various Artist – FLFR002

Irish outlet Fluff Records launched earlier this year via a fine multi-artist EP packed with blends of deep house and tech-house. They take a similar approach on this speedy sequel, with equally as impressive result. DJ Sometimes kicks things off with the pleasingly warped, hazy and percussion-rich 'Feel U (Inside Me)' - all rumbling UK garage style bass, spacey riffs, warm keys and infectious drums - before Quidders drops the deep, dubbed-pout tech-house funk of 'Once a Shelby'. The fun continues on side B, where JME's '3am at Cosmos' - deep tech-house with swirling sounds aplenty and a funk-fuelled bassline - is followed by Jordan Masters' chunky and spacey 'Wax Worker' and the deep, weighty bass and early morning haziness of 'Tip of the Dust' by Ferg.
