“Lifting some of the choicest cuts from his contribution to the latest Vagabundos compilation, Cesar Merveille brings to light three exemplary cases for the creativity to be found in minimal house. Ricardo Villalobos’ remix of Envoy makes for one of the most soothing turns the producer has made in years, letting a dependable groove unfurl underneath undulating swathes of melody in a truly deep but pleasantly energised excursion. Luciano’s remix of Tim Wright is a blast from the heyday of the minimal scene, mixing classic Cadenza rhythmic detail with the swagger of Juice Aleem’s MCing and dropping a simple synth hook in for maximum effect. The “No Ears instrumental” of Losoul’s “Lies” finds Rob Mello bringing the perfect kind of funk to a slightly spooked out deep house bumper.”
