Intl vinyl

Athens label Nous made a strong impression with their debut release, providing a platform for local talent Miltiades to shine with his refined take on deep house. A second release from the label sees Nous turn to Wes 'Moon B' Gray, the self-professed 'bonafide hardware freak' whose emergence this year has been one of the more pleasing narratives. A clutch of cross-format releases for Going Good, Peoples Potential Unlimited and Hot Mix under the Moon B and Sean Sanders aliases all unified in their love of lo-fi grooves that variably slam or bump has made Gray a personal favourite here at Juno HQ. Adopting a new moniker in Vaib-R, the Intl EP presents a suite of three new productions from Gray that all feel dipped in lo-fi funk though there's an added crispness to the rhythmic elements. Budapest's Route 8 and local Greek talent Retrograde add some fine accompanying remixes!
