Although now known as a formidable experimentalist who delights in doing things differently - be that making admirable concept albums or, as with his most recent work, an album that takes the form of a written book - Matthew Herbert first rose to prominence in the late 1990s as a producer of left-of-centre deep house. Here he dips into the archives and presents a second essential reissue: the "Part 2" EP, which initially landed in 1996. Side A boasts the ultra-deep thrust of "Deeper", where mutilated vocal samples and pots-and-pans percussion hits rise above a Chez Damier influenced deep house groove. Over on side B, "Non-Stop" is insanely bass-heavy (check the speaker-busting sub-bass) and crunchy, while "Shuffler" sees Herbert peppering a jazzy and swinging groove with impeccable electric piano solos.
