Peven Everett & Josh Milan - The Way

01. Just Like Love (Josh Milan Original Mix)

It's the super-soulful fusion of Blaze legend Josh Milan and talented, fast-rising producer Matthew Bandy. Stylish yet utterly heartfelt, Wish is Foliage Records' latest, impressive gambit to seduce quality house floors around the world.

Milan effortlessly performs his own lyrics about painful yet irresistible love over rich, multi-layered production from Bandy. Deep, driving drums and ripe, melodic b-line compliment swells of synth, immersive key solos, and smart percussive kicks; in turn, providing the perfect soul-stirring sound-bed on which to lay those wistful vocals. And then come top-draw remixes from Frankie Feliciano and Tribe man Zepherin Saint - the former 'Ricanstructing' with jazzy, afro-skip finesse; the latter adding sassy new key and piano work. There's feeling from every angle...

Wish is Milan and Bandy's first hook-up together. Milan, with nearly 30 years of soul-dance pedigree as half of mighty New Jersey house outfit Blaze, is currently developing a new live instrument-led house project Honeycomb Music to, already, huge acclaim. London-based Bandy, meanwhile, has been making recent waves with Papa Records, his own Limestone Recordings label and, of course, Foliage; he made his debut on the label in March via sweet Adrianne Archie-fronted joint We Can't Loose. All this follows on from lauded work alongside Chez Damier, Jay Tripwire and Aaron Ross.

The pair offers a more than convincing match for this next weighty Foliage foray into soulful clubland. Song and production are totally made for one another, teasing out new moves and emotions with every play, and remixes add depth not decoration. Here is a very real kind of house record, the kind you can't help but embrace and lose yourself in. True Wish fulfilment!
