Alton Miller

Review: The analogue love continues... Hot in pursuit of "All The Little Things", Detroit OG Alton Miller delivers more fresh soul. And we mean soul; "She Don't Want To Be" is an exquisite dreamy percussive house cut that sits somewhere between Faze-O and MAW. "In Spring" maintains the woozy daydream feel while shuffling up the groove into more of a party-minded affair while "Can't Get Enough" is pure, uncut Detroit house funk. Beyond authentic.

Review: Detroit deep house legend Alton Miller is back on his own Inner Muse imprint with the Possibilities EP. Originally released in 2007 on R2, the former Music Institute resident served up some deliciously soulful, sexy and emotive groves that you'd come to expect from this master. The broken beat nu-jazz of the title track accompanies Lady Linn's powerfully heartfelt vocals. This re-issue features two remixes; firstly by local John C. Briggs aka Zoetic who takes it down a deeper/chilled early evening fashion while the legendary Boddhi Satva steps up and delivers an epic futurist rendition that has seen this old school stalwart release on Innervisions previously; and it's that aesthetic featured heavily on this killer remix.

Review: Here's something to get excited about: a cracking new cut from Detroit deep house legend Alton Miller, backed with a 'Sound Signature' translation from the equally revered Theo Parrish. Miller's version of "Bring Me Down", is something of a treat: a sparkling, starry deep house epic that's blessed with immaculate vocals from soul chanteuse Maurissa Rose. Parrish's translation is equally as stretched out and similarly enjoyable, but is far looser and dustier in feel, with warmer bass and beats that naturally tend towards the jazzier. It's naturally more in keeping with Parrish's work than Miller's, but retains enough of the latter's touches to be counted as a fine remix.
