Marshmallows vinyl

Given the quality of his Synthetes trilogy on Don't Be Afraid the lack of new material from Nick "Mr Beatnick" Wilson in 2014 has been incredibly frustrating. This return, then, is more than welcome. This time he's up on London label TIEF with a typically attractive, soul-flecked four-tracker. Opener "Marshmallows" pits gooey chords and typically loose deep house percussion against picturesque melodies and a subtle acid line. "Ice Cream Strut" is similarly gorgeous, though the beats have a broken feel and the snares doff a cap to his hip-hop past (for the confirmed househeads, there's a solid Francis Inferno Orchestra remix included). Finally, "Oxytonin" is a bubbling foray into melodious, Detroit-influenced deep house soaked through with autumnal sunshine.
