Little 'i' EP

Fresh & Low's first record: a twelve inch on the small West Side label from 1997, four tracks long. It is deep house in the American mold, warm chords, soft drums, almost no vocals, made in Britain at the exact moment the genre was getting harder everywhere else. Original copies became expensive enough that the EP has been reissued more than once since. New Life opens it and is the reason: a slow build of chords and vocal scraps that ends up close to euphoric.
