Ross mc millan aka Carlos Nilmmns started his career over 10 years ago with Skylax records. From his 1st EP "Red" it is a statement. A subtle mix of House, techno all embellished with striking cinematographic landscapes. There followed a multitude of releases on skylax (blue ep) but also ornaments, 4lux or even circus company. He has just recently released 2 fabulous remixes for the Soul of the makossa man project (warehouse classic 5 & 6). And it is logically in view of the incredible level he has reached in the development of his remixes that we offered him to make a new ep. There is in this new 12 inch his very personal touch to the deep and sensual but also latin house influences that surely would not have denied the MAW but also the great David Mancuso (The Loft) who if he were still alive, we think would have loved this ep (RIP). Indeed, Ross also manages to integrate into his songs cinematic landscapes worthy of Lalo Schifrin of the 1970s while maintaining a club aspect. Latin tapes is one of the most beautiful house bangers we've heard in a long time, a real ode to party and life. No Love lost is eyeing moodymann, mcde and the brilliant and forgotten trus'me. Hootenanny looks nothing more or less than isaac hayes from his blaxploitation period. Everything else is on the same level: City of love, Sunset over Antoni de Portmany (Balearic Nights) & Life in The Loire. The real question would be to know how he manages to obtain this sound so classy, the impression that he is accompanied throughout the EP by The Philadelphia international rhythm section (gamble & huff) an orchestra of seasoned musicians. Probably one of the finest house records (or even just music) to be released this year by a talent as singular as it is elusive. This 12 inch is a masterpiece of elegance and refinement.
