V/A

New EP of winners from the Moods & Grooves label. Pinky 2 Dye 4 get the
ball rolling with ''Understanding Neith'', an intricate late night house pleaser that has all the markings of classic Detroit techno, with a killer bassline and sublime strings the key players. ''We Go Way Back'' sees Javonette dishing up some quality late night house, filtered to perfection with swirling synths and a mellow vocal and bassline. On the flipside, A Squared goes for the late night crowds also, but gears his ''Perception'' track for the jazzy, deep bass lovers out there. Jeff Pilon completes this strong quartet of cuts with ''Level 7'', combining great strings, deep chords, funky bass, and shuffling house beats with great aplomb.
