DEADBEAT - Waking Life (2018)

Scott Monteith aka Deadbeat follows the Wax Poetic album release from earlier this year with this excellent dance floor EP, also on his own label. While the Deadbeat project is usually associated with dub techno, Waking Life shows that this aspect is only part of the project's identity. So while "A Last Swim" is a wonderfully immersive affair that resonates to layered textures, "A New Sense Of Purpose" sees Monteith deliver his own distinctive version of balmy deep house, while both "Midnight In The Garden" and "A Thousand Shining Stars" focus on the veteran producer's unique interpretations of sleek Detroit techno
