Fresh from delivering his first full EP for Shall Not Fade, the typically impressive Ventura, deep house rising star Johannes Kolter AKA DJOKO delivers a fine sequel to 2020’s Berg Audio-released Endless Explorations EP. There’s much to enjoy throughout, including a deep, chunky, spacey and hypnotic hook-up with Chris Stussy (‘Constant Time’) and a funk-fuelled intergalactic techno roller that Detroit legend Delano Smith later transforms into a wonderfully hypnotic, locked in late-night treat (‘Light Way’). Elsewhere, ‘Little Mice’ is a sparkly and driving slab of Motor City sci-fi techno, ‘Late For Dinner’ is a melodic, analogue-rich number and ‘Always Wondered’ is tactile, rubbery and deliciously dreamy. In a word: superb!
