Pulehouse vinyl

Sex Tags Mania alumni DJ Sotofett returns with some more idiosyncratic house movements on the Wania label, after the blink and you'll have to shell out on Discogs Driftett EP that proved so popular last year (Jackmaster and Ben UFO among that single's more illustrious fan base). Lead track "Pulehouse (Reggi mix)" sounds like a Workshop artist covering "Pacific State" then subsequently getting bent out of proportion by John Heckle, deftly combining dreamy synth work with gurgling analogue textures and rippling, metallic drum sounds that threaten to pierce the ankle high sub bass. "Pulehouse's" soothing powers are intoxicating enough you can easily picture Move D ending one of his emotive sets at Freerotation with it while holding back the tears. It's complemented by two further tropical excursions on the flip with the lolloping rainforest beatdown of "Sta Opp Med Sola (Chiang Mai version)" complemented by the full on "scare a darkened room of people at 3am" psychedelic afro house wig out of "Assa Med Den Derre Floyta". Highly recommended.
