Various – Daydream 18

French label Daydream continues to quietly and brilliantly go about its classy deep house business here with a new various artists’ EP for its 18th outing. Thomas Wood kicks off with the cavernous, warming dub house of ‘Luminous Path’ while Valen’s ‘Deep Mystery’ ups the pace a little with more lithe, sleek drum patterns and swirling, heady pads. Ali Demir & Valde’s ‘Abstract’ is another heady house sound with cosmic pads and distant melodies all bring the future feels. Venda’s ‘Ghosts’ closes down with paddy drums and suspensory chords for those 4 am sessions when you’re utterly lost in the moment.
