With this deft, elegant weave of selected vocal cuts and
deep yet undeniably driving melody Ricky L creates a
unique form of pure, stylish House that takes a
recognisable pop aesthetic and remodels it for the soulful,
sophisticated dancefloor. Nothing But: A familiar vocal cut
sets the emotional tone of A Side “Nothing But” with
carefully crafted melodies leading the track towards a
powerful, moving break which creates a touching moment
perfectly fitting with the nature of the track. The A2 Dub
version of “Nothing But” maintains the mood of the original
but does away with the full vocal and utilises a more direct
arrangement to provide a very strong DJ tool. Justeen: On
the flip side is the low slung swagger of “Justeen” which
rides a fiercely sexy vocal sample on the back of a
beautifully hypnotic melody and bassline to provide the
perfect late night groove. It’s Just a…: Lastly “It's just a…”
rolls a classic Chicago tinged groove underneath an
effective sliced vocal to create a reduced and distinctive
cut on the B2.
