Leman Vinyl & CDs

Review: Mystic V debuted last summer with 'Ever Since That Day I Met You' and now they're back on Leman with a follow-up that comes heavily endorsed by a remix by Atlantan legend Kai Alce. The latter's NDATL mixes of 'Miracles' come in vocal and instrumental versions, both bursting with the life-affirming, soul-stirring sounds we all know and love from the US legend. Let's not forget the original version of the track though, which opens up the B-side in a dreamy cascade of piano keys and honey-coated vocals above a smooth and funky bassline you could sink your teeth into, it's substantial. It's a masterclass of deep house, neatly contrasted by the techier strains of 'All One's Hopes' to make for a thoroughly fulfilling EP from a rising talent.

Review: Legendary producer Sweet Abraham, head of Diaspora Recordings, makes his long-awaited return to vinyl with a release on Swiss label Leman Records. For the first time in years, he feels the same excitement and responsibility as during his early days with Defender and deep4life. Staying true to his signature sound, Abraham explores a slower house tempo, creating a deep, atmospheric, dub-infused vibe. Tracks 'Givin U' and 'Walk of Melech' offer distinct, fresh takes on his style while maintaining the rich depth fans expect, marking an exciting evolution in his celebrated career.
