DJ Laurel – Love Games EP

The ever-fresh DJ Laurel squeezes the last pips out of the summer with the marvellous ‘Love Games’ EP on Hot Digits Music.

The title track ‘Love Games’ is, quite simply, a feel-good mid-tempo treat. An early doors crowd pleaser, ‘Love Games’ contains all the bits and pieces that DJ Laurel excels at putting together. A super-confident four x four beat sets the tone, but we’re all here for the perfectly set vocals that soak you right through.

The slow and dreamy chugger that is ‘Back To You’ occupies the ambient lit space between velvet-walled late night lounge and daytime disco. Once again, DJ Laurel showcases his immaculate taste and deft skill in riffing on classics. Can you wear your loafers on the dance floor? Absolutely.

The tempo shits upwards for ‘Love On A Summer Night’. There’s a cheeky George Benson vibe in the air with this sublime rework of a 1982 R&B classic. A track that celebrates the good times and those sliding door moments, it sweeps you up on a warm summer breeze and leaves you lying on your back under a star-filled sky. Let the lyrics drip over your ears like honey and embrace their gentle touch.

DJ Laurel knows how to hit those sweet spots, and with the ‘Love Games’ EP you will find it exceptionally difficult to pick out a favourite. A timeless and gorgeous collection of tunes which closes out the summer months perfectly.
