Potatoes & Beans vinyl

Canadian disco deviant Colin de la Plante returns under his renown alias The Mole for The Sound Of Vast: a Japanese label based in Amsterdam. It's had a diverse output over the years; in recent times there's been releases by Romanian minimal don Vid aka Egal 3, local larrikin San Proper and their hometown hero from Tokyo: Into The Fog aka DJ Sodeyama. Starting off this fine EP is the funky lo-slung groove of "Potatoes & Beans" on the A side, followed by the hypnotic afro beat groove of Lonely Security Man". On the flip, the British Columbian shows he's just as good at creating emotive deep house on the bittersweet, late night tones of "Help" while the wicked "2nd Dominant Lesson" closes out the EP in style with this classic Chicago house throwback: think Virgo Four or Steve Poindexter.
