Mr. G 'G’s Juiced Up EP' (No Idea’s Original)
We love Colin McBean’s extensive discography, and he just keeps on adding to it: here, he releases on Huxley’s No Idea’s Original label (an imprint that’s fast becoming a go-to resource for solid house cuts). ‘Can’t Stop’, with its looping vocal cut, raw drums and an evil modulating synth, announces itself as an essential mood creator without having to rely on any bells and whistles. The title of ‘4am NYC Downlow TS Version’, meanwhile, is a fitting description of the music within: it’s the perfect song for the DJ to put on and renergise you with when you’re flagging at the afterparty and thinking about getting a taxi home. ‘Make Me Mad’ and ‘Make me Dub’ complete the EP.
8/10
