Loopaddiction utilises one irresistibly catchy looped hook which twists, turns and filters in and out of the tracks shuffling beats. It also comes complete with two hot re-edits from one of the scene's most in demand remixers - Jamie 'Jimpster' Oddell. His dub mix entices you into a hynotic late night house groove, whilst the house mix is perhaps the best cut on the vinyl. This is perfect fodder for the more jazzed up dancefloors across the globe.

As you would expect the production is superb, very crisp, very fresh. The beats are quite up-tempo definitely one for the feet rather than the head nodders. It Features a big bouncy B-line that certainly reminded me of 'Home' and keeps the track uplifting throughout. It's got an electro feel to it, but still retains a soulful vibe rather than a techy sound.

Diamond Life teams up Jay Sinister Sealee and Julie McKnight. A duo that has had great success with the last two collaborations. Julie McKnight's vocals are strong and fit well around the tracks musical frame. It's nice to hear a vocal track that doesn't rely on a wailing diva to make it stand out. The lyrics are good, maybe not as powerful as her earlier example on 'Finally' but certainly stay clear from cheesy. This makes the acappella on this vinyl a very useful tool even if maybe you aren't a big fan of the track itself.

This track could fit well into many different style sets, the Diamond Mix being the mix probably favoured as the more instant of the two mixes. Whilst the MAW mix is more laidback and percussive, but still full of funk.

Diamond Life is a definite floor filler and future anthem that stays clear of dodgy filtered disco samples. The wait for release has been long but now it's here, go and get it.

If you happen to be strolling down the banks of the Seine on a Sunday Morning and walk past a barge emitting the slow, fuzzy thud of a bass drum, you're likely to have discovered the Batofar. If your there at the right time of the month, you'll find 'Kwality', one of the most infamous afterparties in Paris, attracting some of the most hard-core party people of the Parisian house scene.

By about 9am, the music is reaching a peak.. Deep San Fran grooves over funky as hell basslines and electro tinged twiddles result in nothing short an electrifying atmosphere. For people who like their house music, there is no place like it. Kwality Batofar is an album representing the essence of this extraordinary party.
