THE PACKER'S BACK! His second release for John B's Tangent Recordings is a Disco-tastic Rip-roaring Frantic-Filterfantastic Soulful Drum & Bass EP.
He's really got the feel for the killer liquid funk grooves, and these 4 tracks demonstrate his versatility in the field, swinging from the Filtered Disco loop D&B style favoured by the likes of J. Majik and Peshay (Disco Magic) to the choppy fast scuttling breaks and soulful vocals of 'Depend on Me'. Swervey Fabio style D&B blasts out in 'What am I supposed to do?' and the more subtle Good Looking vibe on 'Now Feel it' takes care of the more atmospheric side to the style.
This EP is sure to appeal to all followers or the Soulful/Liquid-Funk crowd and atmospheric Djs alike. Have no fear though, this is a cut above - the quality clearly separates itself from the rest of the liquid-funk-by-numbers bunch - at Tangent it's about more than just sticking a couple of vocal samples on top of a standard D&B Rinse out - and Greg Packer's one of the best guys to deal with the matter.
