Second time around for Detroit deep house outfit The Kings of Late Night’s 2005 Fly Away EP, which originally appeared on the West End Blue imprint. With Billy Love’s sumptuous vocals to the fore, there’s much to enjoy throughout – not least the organic, undulating, live deep house warmth of sublime opener “It’s The Life”. Theo Parrish’s Sound Signature Remix of “Illumination” – ultra-deep, jazzy, spaced-out and hypnotic – remains one of the Detroit producer’s greatest reworks. On the flip, beatdown pioneer Norm Talley takes on remix duties to deliver two contrasting versions of “Fly Away”. There’s the sparse, jazzy and intricately programmed West End Blue Mix, and the slightly smoother West End Lounge Mix, where Love’s immaculate vocals take centre stage.
