Gig Pack EP 1

DJ Monchan is a true house believer, and his Dailysession label continues to fly the flag for the truest, most soulful iteration of deep house. Just listen to this latest VA release, which leads in with the soul-stirring power of Javonntte singing over Gastek & LDF’s smouldering ‘Heaven’. Meanwhile Rich H channels a little of that Mr Fingers magic for his instrumental meditation, ‘Taking Direction’. On the flip, we slip into the edit side of Dailysession as Prince Klassen does some funky magic with ‘On Our Way Home’ and Monchan himself has fun dubbing out the heavy percussive throwdown of ‘Feeling’s Gone Dub’. He also gets into a vintage Levan-esque mode on ‘Dub Is Now (Monchan 2 Sugar edit)’, coming on like it’s a Friday night in 1983.
