The onus of proof regarding deepness is a rather peculiar one. Even if one presses all the right buttons, quotes the correct sources and applies the textbook techniques, often something seems to be amiss. The elusive producer
Mute
never had that problem. Blessed with a sound of his own, that seems to stem from within and can be called deep house without the genre's strait-laced demeanor, his aesthetic includes a distinct feel for boogie and disco tropes. Case in point: "Lost." Placed as a B2, it is the secret start of
Direct Cuts II
and more prominent on this new edition of a classic Running Back record. Molded into an extended disco version by
Gerd Janson
with unused parts of the original recording session, it something like a curveball deep house disco song, according to the motto: "you and me, we can be like a whole universe!" Hard to resist and even harder not to like if you have the slightest interest in prelude records,
Diana Ross
songs, or
Tee Scott
mix techniques. "Basics," "Vibes," and "Driver's License" push further into the world and musical mindset of Mute. Originally released in 2006 as the fourth outing of the label and the second (and his last one to date) of the elusive artist, it is still as remarkable as on its first release. Carefully rescued from the original DAT tapes, all re-edited by Gerd Janson and remastered by
Lopazz
, it's available again in a clear and present portraiture of its original intent. Early adopters like
Danny Krivit
and the
Idjut Boys
can't be wrong.
