Yam Who’s ISM imprint has been in fine form of late, delivering excellent EPs from Alena, Bubblegum, The Drive and Ilija Rudman. Here that run continues, as the veteran producer unleashes an impressive debut album from I Gemin, AKA newcomer Mike Popov. There’s much to admire from the off, with “Can’t Nobody” offering a deliciously loose and jazzy fusion of pulsating garage bass, two-step influenced beats, lilting deep house chords and evocative vocal samples. Elsewhere, he delivers some Floating Points-esque deep house lusciousness (the superb, boogie-influenced “Private Life”) and – best of all – a carnival-friendly chunk of woozy, horn-laden, 21st century dancefloor soul (“Next 2 Me”). Yam Who and Leebo Freeman deliver killer remixes, with the latter’s dub-flecked deep house take on “Next 2 Me” standing out.
