Review: Dance generators NJOI are back, serving up another fresh new EP straddling disco, pop house, and 90s rave. Stripping the genres' ingredients back to their most basic elements, 'Hidden Gems' contains such conspicuous jewels as 'Feel My Love' - which features Luvain on vocals and sounds like a classic akin to something by Rozalla, but wrung out like a sponge - and the big beat mover 'Astoria' - which insists the funk is something ephemeral, something we "can't touch". We'd be inclined to agree.

Review: UK producer NJOI delivers the white label goods with 'The Dubs', allegedly after "unprecedented demand from fans". Through four full instrumental mixes of formerly unreleased Hidden Gems tracks, the bits here range from gargantuan acid to close-up deep Chicago house to acid trance, making for a thoroughly enjoyable exercise in house versioning and flippage.
