Alan Dixon’s rapid rise continues via a fine EP on Lumberjacks in Hell that brilliantly showcases the producer’s signature style. The heart of the EP is Maleke O’Ney collaboration “Whatcha Gonna Do”, a driving, bass-heavy disco-house number whose restless, life-affirming piano solos, sustained organ chords and non-stop bassline sound like they were inspired by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes’ classic “Don’t Leave Me This Way”. Choose between the original mix, a sing-along friendly vocal version and a tidy Marcel Vogel rework that sports some seriously sexy Clavinet lines, sweeping disco strings and some suitably heavy house drums. Arguably best of all, though, is Dixon’s new version of Frank Hooker’s gospel-fired disco obscurity “Rise and Shine”, a track he successfully tools up for contemporary dancefloors.
