Having previously plied his trade on Deepjacking Recordings and Moulton Music, Phaze Dee transfers to Mike Grant's long-running Moods & Grooves stable. He begins in some style, layering up classic deep house elements - snaking sax samples, electronic flourishes, a booming bassline, drifting pianos - on standout A-side "Game Of Life". "Game Of Life" explores similar territory, with a classic house riff and soulful vocal samples stretching out atop a chunky groove, before he channels the spirit of early Chicago house on the rather delicious "Basic Luv". The track's synth bassline and chiming melodies are undoubtedly loved-up, while the swirling pads are reminiscent of classic Larry Heard and Ron Trent material.
