Soul Damn Funky Records gets waxy for the first time with a new EP from some key associates. The vibes are immaculate with a knowing nod to the 90s, starting with The African Sunset Project's 'Your Smooth Heart' (feat Louis Squire), a sun-bathed and slouchy deep house warmer with Balearic guitar licks. Russell Ruckman's 'Grand Risings' brings some big sax energy, then newcomer MAX JAX's 'Supernatural' has a buttery vocal and neat chords riding a chunkier US garage groove. Steven James closes down an EP that will keep you warm all winter long with the vaping chords and shimmered vocals of the lush 'Time 4 Us 2 Shine'. Real house music with tons of heart.
