Given that original vinyl copies are increasingly hard to come by, it’s great to see Lord of the Isles’ Hot Blobs EP – one of Neil McDonald’s earliest outings, from back in 2011 – finally get a digital release. While recent outings have seen him indulging his love for Highlands-inspired ambience, Hot Blobs sees him in full-on club mode. The ten-minute title track sets the tone, delivering a typically tactile blend of Detroit techno electronics, dreamy pads, heady vocal samples and a killer, nu-disco inclined groove. McDonald proves his deep house credentials on “Tell Your Soul” – a luscious combination of Larry Heard chords, eyes-closed melodies and single-malt strength grooves – while “This Way” is an aquatic disco-funk-meets-deep house chugger that was supposedly designed for the warm-up at Sub-Club. That might be hearsay, but it’s certainly a bit of an early doors killer.
