Wade In vinyl

** JOY O REPRESS ** Ray Keith's nephew tries out the latest variant on Joy Orbison with a return to Hotflush that demonstrates just how far he's progressed since the HYPH MNGO days. If "Ladywell/BB" signalled his intentions to take a house-centric turn, then "Jels" & "Wade In" is O/Orb/Orbison tackling Chicago and Detroit in his own inimitable style. "Jels" arrives with a synth wash swagger, dropping into crisp 808 rhythms and future Detroit synths that build towards an emotive drop into the throbbing main. Craftily switching between snarling acid leads and elegant piano flourishes, it's a bold dancefloor statement. "Wade In" looks to the emotive deepness of Chicago, adding some glorious tropical touches to the thudding rhythmic thrust with uplifting results. There's a point where the pads are stretched right out in unison with the subaqueous vocal harmony which is truly blissful. You don't really need us to point this out for you, but this is gonna be huge.
