#2 Feat. Banner in Deep House

D.S.D. is back with four deep house slammers to rock floors and crowds. First up, title track Mackerel Skies goes heads down with a wangy 303 bass, spacy synth chords, a rising lead and drums that rock. The piano drops with a nod to the rave days, before everything blends for a heads down pumper. Jealous keeps the tempo up and takes the beats a bit more disco. Burbling synths, vocodered vocal sample, synth stabs and arps bring the positive vibes. FuQueue keeps a light touch with summery arps, gorgeous piano chords and a riffing vocal. Late nights or early mornings, you decide. Finishing things off, Pocket Sand is deep and funky, with big reverbed synths plus a popping bass and delayed keys.

#46 Feat. Banner in Deep House

The three-piece powerhouse that is Super FU, with members Sarah Lazenby, Paul Withy, and Rich Hall, returns to Paper with another long player of Balearic disco brilliance. The album tips its hat to a wide range of genres and influences, with hints of space disco, psychedelia, synth heavy electronica and the kind of pop that harks back to the glory days of Ibiza. There are hints of the best bits of the best record collections: Crazy P, LCD Soundsystem, Street Sounds Compilations, Prince and Sabres Of Paradise, whilst still totally unique, thanks to the slick sounds, superb production and arrangements. This is an album to soundtrack European car journeys, sunset alfresco gigs, late-night parties, and the after-hours. It is spellbinding, catchy as hell, and beautiful through and through.
