Junktion - Tributes EP

Fouk member Johannes Peeman has delivered some superb solo EPs as Junktion, including killer outings on Times Are Ruff, Sleazy Beats Black Ops and, most regularly, OUTPLAY. Here he returns to the latter label with his first fresh EP in almost 18 months. Peeman hits the ground running with swinging, loose-limbed sample-house workout ‘Just a Disco Thing’, where jazzy bass, tight organ stabs, sparkling synths and funk vocal snippets cluster around a superb broken house rhythm, before opting for a chunkier, woozier deep house sound on ‘Real To Me’. Elsewhere, ‘I Got Somebody (Yeah Man)’ is a rolling deep house warmer blessed with squelchy synth-bass, while ‘Tribute’ is a superb slab of detailed, musically expansive deep house with an exquisitely dreamy, head-in-the-clouds finish.
