Younger Rebinds - Retro7 (2017)

This expansive double-pack from the consistent Running Back label arrives with no information about the identity of the previously unknown Younger Rebinds. What we can tell you, though, is that it’s really rather good. As the title hints, it’s something of a retro-futurist treat, with the mystery outfit laying down a range of club-ready jams inspired by the rich history of house music. Highlights include the hands-aloft piano house simplicity of “Hite”, the proto-house-meets-acid-house hum of the decidedly druggy and psychedelic “Retro7”, the bounding, heavily electronic deep house bounce of “Oorgel” and the pitched-down, saucer-eyed Balearic house bliss of “Moonday”. Those who enjoying playing around with percussion should also check the sweaty drum workout that is “7Beat”.
