Pal Joey returns with Hear Again, a new double vinyl LP revisiting nine of his best catalogue clamourers. This is the esteemed New York producer's second full-length LP under his own name, tracing a vector back to his late 80s and early 90s work on labels like Cabaret, Loop D'Loop and Foot Stompin', where his loose, sample-heavy approach forged, in white-hot heat, the very foundations of deep house in NYC. 'It Feels Good' with Tom Smith, 'Fuckin' With You' with OPM, and 'Tomorrow' with Los Dos reveal an inerrant collaborative principle, rooted in the face-to-face cultures crucial for early scene survival. Such interactive imperfections are heard more in the session's dusty MPC grooves, vocal snips and jazz-leaning chord stabs built for dancers - not purists. Even as it's been newly mastered for vinyl, Hear Again keeps that roughneck edge intact; not a museum restoration, but a real, basement session flashback.
