Having debuted on Altered Moods earlier this year as one of the contributing artists to the Rotate Freely vinyl dedication to Freerotation festival, Crawley-based Mick Welch is granted the full space of a 12" to show off his wares. And boy does it take it the chance. Octaves of Energy is a fine 3-track addition to the Altered Moods canon, demonstrating an innate understanding of what deep house truly stands for. "Conscious Fields" sets the tone, with wavering high hats and tambourines easing in and out of focus amidst rich pad work and a wistful vocal sample. Complementing this, the B-side houses two truly deep excursions with "Octave 50" particularly satisfying.
