Session Victim 'Matching Half' EP (Delusions Of Grandeur)
The German duo make their return to DOG with ‘Matching Half’. With its combination of authentic retro drum rolls, percussive disco loops and building keys lines, it’s full of musicality and groove. At the four-minute mark, a joyous piano slides in to transform it into an even more memorable house cut. This could be on repeat for a long time and we would still be happy; it’s not a club banger, but instead a classy piece of house music that would sway any hardened detractors of the genre. Byron The Aquarius is on remix duties and gives it an injection of pace, but his version is hard-pressed to better the original. ‘Up To Rise’ is lovely on the flip, too, but for us, the A-side is still the one to watch out for.
8/10
