Pal Vol 1

All City's Pear label, Dublin's current finest in the deep house game, comes through with its first collaborative release, a six-track monster carrying all sorts of enchanting synth sounds for the mind. Sage's opener is the perfect companion to an early morning beach set, while Plush Throw's "Plushwoshback" adds in a little quirkiness to the groove, and CLI's remix of "User" by CHMMR lays down a neat little piano house groove for the lovers. The flipside kicks off with Brien's "Convertible Woman", a suave and laid-back house groover, whereas Noah Skelton's dubby minimal techno on "Looped Reflections" makes for a refreshing breath of air, and "Delish89" from Candles ends on an utterly vibeing bit of balearic boogie for the soul. Delicious.
