Two releases, two Juno number ones- you could say that proceedings for MIL have surpassed all expectation. But then again, looking at their output so far it’s hardly surprising. The impact of the label has been unanimously received as an imprint dedicated to curating fresh and original house true to the genre from some of the most hotly regarded up-and-coming producers in the electronic music scene. The forthcoming 3rd release maintains the expectation still and comes from Manchester-based Tom Maxwell, another highly anticipated producer on the UK scene who makes his first foray into the EP world. His first track featured on Jamie Trench’s excellent debut EP and his most recent second release came on the equally successful MIL Lovebox VA, two finely pieced productions that served to showcase Maxwells unique take on the deeper side of house. The coolly considered Spun EP underpins Maxwells musical perspective further and resonates with early UK and US garage with heavy 90s house influences. First track Feel Yourself delves straight into deeper territorium, a solid opening introduction of melodic intent that steadily builds with swirling synths and wood-block drumming underneath crisp hi-hats, a groove-heavy bassline and reverberant, deep chords. The utilisation of classic 90s piano rhythms grow in presence over a gospel-like vocal, handclaps and quick, shuffling rim shots at the breakdown kicking powerfully back into a head-nodding groove that rally takes the track to greater depths. Talk About’s snare groove and infectious rolling bassline form the forefront of the second track. The execution of teasing Aliyah vocal flourishes are used perfectly as a glue for the beat with the RnB melodies sparsely bouncing around each other in effortlessly cool fashion. The combination of spacey-synths patterns the build up with the intuitive match of chords combining with a hypnotic bassline that instinctively flows with ease. The tile track is remixed by Dutch heavyweight Gerd,
