Syncrophone
Producer and keyboardist Jon Dixon lands on his own 4EVA 4WRD label with some timeless house tracks that bring all his majestic melodic skills to the fore. "Times Of Change" (feat De'Sean Jones) is a mellifluous, comically minded cut with a fantastic lead sax and bubbly chords, and "Move 4WRD" (feat Britt Frappier) then gets more fluttering and percussive, with flappy hits and dreamy vocals making for a light and airy groove. There are dancing synths and lush astral colours on "Beautifully Equipped" but closer "Troopcafe" might be the best of the lot with its deft, arching pads and shimmering broken beats.
