IT’S
no secret that I harbour dreams of packing my
bags and moving to Spain someday. Sun, sea, sand and sangria or so they say.
Add to that superb deep house so what more could I need señor?
Ok,
so the scene in Spain is centred largely on the urbanised capital of Madrid far
from the beaches, whilst the internet breaks down those pesky physical barriers
anyway but you get my drift. Now whilst most attention is focused on Ernie at
Minuendo plus Dubbyman and his brother Above Smoke over at Deep Explorer, Jesus
Gonsev of Troubled Kids doesn’t always get the attention he rightly deserves.
Apart
from cracking releases for the likes of Batti Batti, deepArtSounds and Foliage
[check out Drift, Kiss My Eye and Flash respectively], the Madrid-based DJ and producer runs his own
imprint with a finely tuned ear and is a sizeable addition to my own record
collection. Troubled Kids’ latest, the Stuntman Mike
Car's Soundtrack: Part 2 EP, is no let down either. Featuring Gonsev himself once again, the
aforementioned Ernie, Japanese starlet Miruga and American gun-for-hire Alton
Miller, it’s a bit of a belter.
Miller is not surprisingly the star attraction here and When The Morning Comes 2nd is undoubtedly a gloriously memorable, polished and darn-enjoyable hunk of deepness. Job done.
Actually no, because not for the first time the boss man Gonsev steals the show as far as I’m concerned. Traits Of Humankind is yet another beautifully evocative, emotive and exceptional cut that wet my whistle handsomely. Lord knows what he’s been putting in his San Miguel of late but the boy just gets deeper and deeper. Long may it continue.
Miruga has got some serious form for Altered Moods, Balance and Ethereal Sound to name but three and he certainly doesn’t disappoint here either with the lush and enigmatic Endless Waltz. That man Ernie – a firm favourite at bringdownthewalls – is on point with Sharepoint, a darker and moodier take on the deep house oeuvre than he usually turns out but a more than fitting addition to a tip top EP.
