Dave Aju 'Freee Lover EP' (Music For Freaks)
We’re delighted to see the rebirth of the Music For Freaks imprint which, with Justin Harris and Luke Solomon at the helm, was responsible for some excellently quirky post-Chicago house. The label’s new release, the ‘Freee Lover’ EP, gives us three originals from Dave Aju as well as a remix by Soulphiction. ‘Found A Lover’ and ‘Givin’ It Dub’ are both soulful deep tech with a hint of jack, and ‘Freeze’ is a downtempo number that reminds us of Talkin’ Loud. Soulphiction take the latter track to the gym, beefing it up into a peak-time jam.
