Deep house devotee Jose Rico is back with his superlative sound on Chubby, bringing the kind of maturity and measured energy befitting of such a master craftsman. The smouldering tones of "Can't Be Too Paradise", the lofty plumes of "Four Eyes", the sweet piano chops and bouncing b-line of "Gem Vmu" - this is how deep house should be done. Eternally musical, soulful and yet understated, Rico is supremely focused on his area of inspiration and yet his sound always brims with passion and invention. If you're craving a mood you can sink into, this is the one.
