When we saw that Toto Chiavetta was stepping up to present the new Mule Musiq release, we were not at all surprised! The Sicilian producer's brand of precisely engineered hi-tech soul is a perfect match. With brilliant releases on top labels such as Innervisions and Osunlade's Yoruba - he's more than capable of delivering the standard of quality that the Japanese label is known for. Indeed the Magnus EP does not at all disappoint: from the melodic, futurist euphoria of A side cut "Higher Than A Bird", to B side offering "First Day Without Her" which is an epic serving of dancefloor drama that sees Chiavetta execute more of the same kind of tension and suspense - it's geared for yet more dive moments of truth under the strobe light.
