The dazzling maiden release for Futureboogie Recordings comes from one of its creators, Julio Bashmore, an artist who represents a vividly bright and unshackled future for UK electronic music. Fusing a classic soulful house sound with a hint of Chi-town and future garage, "Father Father", is a welcome introduction.

An instant classic that’s full of warmth, "Father Father" won’t fail to capture the heart of those that experience the piercing originality at the centre of its modern soul. From its soaring melodic chords, spacious percussion and crisp hi-hats to the silky vocal talents of fellow Bristolian Javeon McCarthy that lift "Father Father" to anthemic heights, the title track is a enraptured sonic treat. Imagine the best of Chicago vocal house reimagined for 2011 - not to create a poor pastiche, but to gain inspiration and produce something brand new.

The instrumental version proves that the groove alone is enough to charm listeners. With a lull in tempo and a gentle breaking up of beats, "Craboon" is the misty-eyed cousin of the package. Celestial synths writhe around dreamy bass-led beats and a faraway female vocal snippet crying out, 'give me love' is reminiscent of an old house record shifted onto a fresh dubscape.
