Indelible Expressions EP: Part 1 / 2 vinyl

Vinyl-only imprint Appian Sounds - jointly run from bases in East London and Dublin - is fast becoming a reliable source of extra-special deep house. This latest split EP, featuring tracks from a trio of rising talents, is another must-have release. Newcomer Jock Burton impresses with "Dolmen", a chunk of loose and spacey deep house that wouldn't sound out of place on Mood Hut or M/O/S Deep (check also Slowburn's remix, which adds a bleep style sub bassline and tools up the percussion). RDMA's "Syeeda" is ultra-deep and heavily electronic - the kind of track you want to both dance to and immense yourself in while horizontal - while Route 8's "Hemitropy" is a pleasingly dusty trip into yearning, half-remembered deep house
