Reedale Rise is the alias of Simon Keat, the Liverpool-based producer that has carved out an idiosyncratic style with a soulful and emotive quality that has been heard on imprints such as Frustrated Funk, Subwax Excursions and 20:20 Vision in the last few years. About a year and a half ago he released this little treasure on Domenico Rosa's Propersound, and it receives a much deserved repress here. From the deeply emotive hi-tech soul of "Astral Wayfarer" to the electro future funk of "Solice" or the Model 500 influenced "Welcome To Microworld" - there's no doubt that Keat unashamedly wears his Motor City influence proudly on his sleeve.
