JEFF THE FOOL 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Jeff The Fool hails from Paris and brings plenty of his hometown's famous penchant for jazzed-up deep house to this new EP to mind the newly opened Rewind label. 'Cruisin' is an effortlessly cool and breezy house cut on nice leggy drums and with curious melodic motifs, 'I'm Not Jeff' is laden with great samples and a punchy beat to get crowds with a smile on their face while they fist pump. The nice and funky, lithe and elastic deep house jazz of 'Soul Farmer' comes as three different versions by Jeff's French friends Crowd Control, Wilt, Ghetto 25. Between them, they cover soulful grooves and wonky dubs. A fine EP.

Review: Parisian producer Jeff The Fool often leans towards the jazzy deep house sounds his city has long been known for. Here he links with Wilt for a new EP on The Chaud that does just that. 'I Said No' is a heavy house cut steeped in US traditional styles, with a libidinous vocal and fat bassline. 'Body & Soul' is a well swung deep house groove with a carefree attitude and 'Vol 334' has more lively drum programming but still a nice warm, scuffed up and intimate feel. The don DJ Deep remixes 'I Said No' into yet another lovely deep house grove.
