Since launching last spring, Lootbeg’s A Friend In Need label has established itself as a reliable source of deep house/disco fusion, delivering the kind of heady, loopy material that was once the preserve of the Dikso and Instruments of Rapture imprints. No Jacket Required, the Leipzig-based label’s first compilation, tells the story so far. There’s plenty to get excited about throughout, from the smooth, Balearic-inclined grooves of MermaidS, and the sumptuous loop disco deepness of 78 Edits’ “I’ll Be Here For You”, to the fluttering acid lines, enveloping pads and eyes-closed grooves of Gregory Dub’s “Acid Spacejam”. Even more impressive is the contribution from Buzz Compass, which offers a decidedly summery deep house revision of a Terry Callier classic.
