Various Artists Blueprint 3

• Words: Steve McLay
• Label: Slip n Slide Blue
• XLR8R Rating: /10

Gathering tracks from some of the most ultra-reliable labels on the globe at the moment (Ubiquity, 20:20, Guidance, Mantis) Slip n Slide Blue's latest outline of deep house and broken beats is as delightful as ever. Mixed by Aloha Pussycat Steve Jones, there's precious little here that won't enchant you. While the likes of Silicone Soul's remix of Random Factor and Q-Burn's "This Time" are serene floaty stuff, the later stages throw up a few quirkier gems like Annie's "Greatest Dub" and Wordless People's squeaking exclusive "Sunrise." True house with a special twist!
