4EVR 4WRD Vinyl & CDs

Review: Underground Resistance established the 4EVR 4WRD label in mid-2016, seemingly as an outlet for music by the crew's live band, Timeline. This second salvo more or less fits the brief, as it's a solo outing by Timeline member Jon Dixon. The 12" boasts a trio of versions of "Fly Free", an R&B/soul inspired chunk of melodious - but naturally a little spacey - deep house. Dixon's own "Edit" version, which includes a few more stylistic nods towards Detroit techno amongst the deep house sounds and looped vocal samples, can be found on the flipside alongside Al Ester's chunkier but no less dreamy Dub. Perhaps the most obviously energetic take, and certainly the most pumping percussively, comes from John Collins.
