This one might be off interest to a few of you, also worth checking the 12" dub

I will forever wish I could write about music like Dr Rob:
Oakland’s Space Ghost launches his label, Peace World Records, with a 4-track E.P. Like Coeo’s latest offering, it looks back to, and updates, 80s and 90s house. Rather than big room bangers, though, the results here are delicate, detailed, deep and serene. “Raise your hands” drum rolls swapped for dramatic cymbal crashes. East Of The Lake and Dream Tool both feature Mr. Fingers-like B-lines, classic keys and swells. The former is particularly groovy, the bass like a Juno 60 vamping on Lonnie Liston Smith. Twisting, turning more acidic as it “expands”. Homeworld has gated ethereal vocals. Heavenly, angelic, with a slower, but heavier beat. On Prism, sequences mimic whales and dolphins, echoing Aphrodisiac’s seminal Nu Groove side, Song Of The Siren, while a robotic reed / synthesised sax pays homage to vintage Italian gear, and the production tips its hat to Frankie Knuckles and Eric Kupper.

" Ok so you know how the story goes, someone from a momentous and legendary record label from the 1980’s gets in touch, they want a remix with some old school acid/breakbeat/techno influences and think you’d be perfect for it. You jump at the chance even though the fee is relatively low, the parts are great and you’re happy to have been asked. You work on the remix for a few weeks, spending time tweaking it and constantly asking for feedback. Everything is going swimmingly…
The time comes to submit the remix and the label boss has suddenly changed his mind, he wants something more recognisable with more of the original vocals in it…your remix is refused and your work and time goes unpaid, such is the perils of working in the music industry and not getting paid upfront.
The freshly mixed and mastered remix is now up on my Bandcamp for as long as it takes to recoup the original fee, I think it bangs and would be a shame to keep it in the dark…lets see how long it stays up for."

I was listening to it this morning and just bought it. It’s a cracker.
