Since discarding illicit disco re-edits in favour of original compositions, Roy Dank's Wurst Music label has barely put a foot wrong. Echoing the revival in interest in New York for off-kilter house, Wurst has thrived by specialising in house music that appeals to the nu-disco generation. This new EP from veteran Brooklyn house producer Henry Maldonado is another great example of Wurst at its best. With Craigslist-recruited singer Javi on vocals, "Till It Hurts" is a nagging underground house/disco singalong that doffs a cap to Funhouse-era Jellybean, Prelude style synth disco and even Wurst's penchant for delay-laden piano riffage. There's also a decent dub for those who prefer instrumentals. "Push 4 Love" continues in this past/present vibe, utilising some excellent Freestyle percussion sounds, classic basement bass and even hookier vocals. The accompanying Son of Sound Dub is, if anything, even better - all Latin Rascals style edits, a stripped down groove and copious amounts of delay.
