For the first release of 2020 on his much admired Underground Quality imprint, Jus-Ed has decided to champion a previously unheard talent: Berlin-based graphic designer turned DJ/producer Nathalie Capello. There's much to admire across the five-track EP, which sees Capello deliver a quintet of dope and dusty deep house cuts shot through with sparkling references to classic house and US garage styles of old. Piano-sporting vocal opener "Come Into My Life (featuring Rose Lonergan)" is particularly special - sun-kissed, gently breezy brilliance - but then so are broken garage number "Get It Right (HW Jam)" and the stab-happy, turn-of-the-90s rave revivalism of "Receiving Mode". Superb stuff!
