SHADELEAF return with their fourth release, further cementing their reputation as far more than 'one to watch' with another stunning and original selection of Deep House workouts The North East may very well be the UK's answer to Michigan, with artists like 003 contributor Ny*Ak alongside the architect of this EP Mannmademusic giving the Motor City crews a run for their money ! Mannmademusic became known very quickly, over the space of a few low key, but expertly realised edits releases for the likes of Glenview, Lumberjacks In Hell & Diner City Sounds For his debut release on Shadeleaf, he wears his influences proudly - Classic loops, loosely screwed onto raw rhythm tracks, with the Funk allowed to flow freely. It's firmly in the KDJ / Theo universe of House, but with a very English roughness, which - like all Shadeleaf releases, really sets these grooves apart 'If You Don't Do It' sounds like the best basement jam-session you could imagine, all loosely stitched samples, bubbling low end lines, those all important keys and some palm slapping rhythms, one for the footworkers ! 'Flexing' again uses a familiar loop as the scaffolding for an irresistible synth-line to unfold and amp up the intensity, until the deadly rhodes payoff - Five minutes of pure funk The EP's title track feat Kali, is a beautifully lazy deep house gem, smoked out and hypnotic bliss Label boss Thatmanmonkz steps up for B2, transforming 'Rough Times' into one of his trademark Boom Bap House jammies Jazz elements weaving around neck-snapping MPC beats & wide low end theories... A stunning EP then, and an essential addition to what's fast becoming a classic catalogue ! . More
