Tilman has had many studio adventures in the past, many alongside the likes of Florian and Johannes Albert, but few were quite as storied and emotionally stirring as the quartet of dancefloor tales told on his latest EP. He begins in fine fashion via a Will Buck collaboration that perfectly captures the sun-kissed positivity, tactile bass, sunset-ready pads and loon bird samples of turn-of-the-90s Italian house (‘What’s Mine is Mine’), before smothering an extra-percussive retro house groove with chiming synthesizer sounds and new age electronics on the equally summery ‘Strawberry Fields’. Rhode & Brown hook-up ‘Velvet Park’ is another classic-sounding slab of warming deep house colour, while closing track ‘Lovin’ sits somewhere between deep synth-pop, electro and Soul II Soul style street soul.
