Payback - Winter's Chill (Paul SG Remix) [Soul Deep Exclusives] [SDE029]
Juno Review: Viennese producer and Jazzsticks Recordings founder Paul SG seems to approach D&B as a blank musical canvas, onto which he can project all manner of deep, soulful and jazzy touches. This three track EP for Soul Deep Exclusives contains some of his most enjoyable material of recent times. The package's highlight is probably opener "Winter's Chill", where SG turns Payback's original into a rush-inducing chunk of melodic dancefloor bliss. While the groove recalls classic jungle, the hazy horns and intricate melodies are thrillingly picturesque. There's a more excitable - but still delightfully deep - feel about Carter hook-up "Elder", while the piano-laden "Shantrila" is a classic example of SG's jazz-flecked trademark sound. By the time the beats return after the first trumpet-laden breakdown, you'll be buzzing.
