Description
A three-track EP where disco and deep house intersect, featuring UK house scene hitmakers The Shapeshifters and Arnold Jarvis, known for his soulful vocals.
Released as the debut from the new label Pleased As Punch, this release delivers the true essence of house. Opening the package, Groove P's "Are They Real" is an underground house track that layers deep textures over a light, bouncing rhythm. Playful developments and a tight groove gradually warm up the dancefloor.
Next, The Shapeshifters' "Body Music" is a house track infused with the disco elements that have defined their string of UK hits. Characterized by bright, uplifting chords and rhythms, it builds a powerful sense of euphoria on the dancefloor.
On the flip, "Look Around" by Lost In and Arnold Jarvis is a deeply soulful track. Arnold Jarvis is a vocalist who has been active in the house scene for many years, and his powerful, warm vocals form the heart of the track. With an arrangement featuring live instrumentation, the calm of deep house and the emotion of soul blend naturally.
Balanced with elements of disco, deep house, and soul, this release works equally well in the club or as listening music.

This first outing from the newly minted Pleased As Punch serves up sounds that are packed with the true essence of house. Groove P's 'Are They Real' sets the tone with an infectious underground bounce that's playful and deep, leading in to a new cut from the chart-topping UK crossover stars The Shapeshifters. Bringing their trademark disco-infused flair, 'Body Music' is uplifting and built for the dancefloor. Then, on the flip, Lost In & Arnold Jarvis elevate things further with 'Look Around,' a deeply soulful cut enriched by live instrumentation and Jarvis' unmistakable vocals. Seems like this label is going to be essential for house heads.
