TOM CARRUTHERS, the UK old-school torchbearer who has already delivered nostalgic house on labels like 〈L.I.E.S.〉 and 〈CRAIGIE KNOWES〉, now joins forces with Italian house talent FABIO MONESI's 〈WILSON RECORDS〉! "Mi Amor" (sample1) dresses up bleep-infused nostalgic rave house with a sample of seductively whispered words of love in Spanish. "The Bass Theory" (sample2) pairs snapping rhythms with sci-fi synths. And a personal favorite, "Killer Fruit" (sample3), rides an emotional melodic loop over a jacked-out drum machine backbone. All three tracks are capable of headlining a set — the striking melodic craftsmanship here is downright dangerous. Recommended! (Original Japanese text by Akie)
