Freerange Records Colour Series: Pink 07 CD

Consistently strong purveyors of quality house music, Freerange are back with another of their colour-based compilations. The Makam remix of Attica kicks things off in style, as breezy drums bolster a Rhodes riff that sounds uncannily like the intro of Roy Ayres "We Live In Brooklyn Baby".

Mr Morning's Slave takes things a little deeper, using some expansive Techy pads to build a huge sound around some minimal Afro-beat drums.<br>
Freerange head honcho Jimpster contributes a mix of Milton Jackson's The Rhythm Track and the effect is similarly deep and devastating.<br>
Pezzner also gets the remix treatment, this time from Justin Martin, who peppers his slow-building Brooklyn New York with cut-up vocals and subtle, whisper quiet sirens.

There's so much quality on show here, it's hard to pick a favourite from the 12 tracks. Two standouts though are Nikola Gala's I Get U, which builds with a timeless female vocal loop, and then swaps it for percussion to set the groove off perfectly. And closing track I Wanna Love You by Elmar Schubert and Vincenzo also deserves checking out - a heart-stopping slow Balearic number with a cloying vocal and tons of warm synth tones. All in all, another quality comp from Freerange.
