Maher Daniel 'Feelings From The Other Side' (The Other Side)
Maher Daniel has done a lot and seen a lot, having performed on the decks at some of the most prestigious clubs on the planet, including a residency at Montreal’s legendary Stereo. As well as all that, he’s released on labels like All Day I Dream, Souvenir, 8bit, Circus and many more. On his own label, The Other Side, we’re presented with his debut album, which showcases his versatility and dexterity as a producer. From groovy dancefloor bubblers like ‘Modular Hallucination’ to wistful downtempo cuts such as ‘Destination In Retrograde’, he covers several bases with panache. This is the work of an artist who knows what’s up, and does the job with confidence. Marcus Barnes
