C / D&E vinyl

Wojciech Taranczuk made his debut as Ketiov this time last year, serving up an expansive EP of dusty deep house treats and interesting interludes. This follow-up continues in a similar vein, opening with a pitched-down, reverb-laden blast of beat-less ambient goodness that sounds like a Balearic re-imagining of Crowded House's "Don't Dream It's Over" (the extended version of which is pretty darn dreamy. There's plenty of rock solid, club-ready fare to be found across the EP, though, including the rush-inducing piano house of "Friends", the cut-up disco-house bounce of "Semi OK", the rubbery, low-slung DJ tool "Special Treat" and the organ-heavy chug of sweaty peak-time throb-job "Workout". In other words, it's an impressively versatile EP that should suit working DJs down to the ground.
