The Crate Digs series reaches volume 3 with an absolutely stunning entry from Flipper and Toni Bassi which leans in heavily on early jazz and funk stylings.

Flipper's opener 'Why Do I Still Love You' touches down with a gorgeous brass intro before giving way to uptempo breaks and a haunting and seductive vocals. 'The Big Band Rising' brings the sound of summer, evoking endless festival nights with its swung rhythm track, even dipping briefly into latin grooves.

The first of the Toni Bassi collabs, 'Mardi Brass', reworks it's New Orleans vibes into a rolling liquid number, before 'Mile High Jazz' takes us into deeper rolling territory.

Flipper then contributes the deeper dancefloor vibes of 'Fundamentals' before Toni Bassi turns 'Why Do I Still Love You' on its head with a sun-blissed and deep house-infuenced reworking which cuts deep throughout.

A stunning and varied EP which raises the bar further on the Crate Digs series following the previous instalments.
