Wonder Wax US レコード& CD

Review: This new Wonderwax release is a soulful South African affair: Edsoul and Moresoul's 'Never Let You Go' previously available only digitally, comes finallly out on wax, and here includes Spinna's Galactic Soul mixes and two further remixes from Rodney SA and Thapsoul. The central track is a spicy affair indeed, perfectly encapsulating the sheer possibilities potent in the technologies that are (A) the deep house style and (B) digital audio. The track has a squeezy digital feel, with Moresoul's yearning vocal oozing out of the mix with an endearing naivety, lent yet more gravitas by Edsoul's glitzing processing and chord-sating backing choir underdubs. Rodney SA's version moves things more digital still, bringing knocky FMs and flourishing progressions, while Thapsoul's version is a truly intriguing dub version, with an indeterminate swing and a quietly dynamic magnetism, which can only ever endear us to the track's seductive theme in a way that the louder versions can't.
