Review by Pelo Apr 29, 2003

Ralph Lawson is best known for his long residency at one of the norths finest musical institutions, Back To Basics in Leeds. For a few years now he has also been releasing his own distinctive brand of funky electronic deep house on the 20:20 Vision label along with friends like Huggy and Carl Finlow. Well, it was about time we got him to dig through his crates and here he brings us the second volume of our Stars On 33 series, showing us some of his influences and proving an unorthodox mix, using live drum breaks from Grand Central artist Dubble D to move seamlessly between live funk and disco tracks into the 4:4 house grooves. The mix starts with some classics - you must have heard the massive Larry Young track in one form or another, the Loft Classic Rude Movements and brings it right up to date with Mr Scruffs Trouser Jazz classic Shrimp! The grooves continue with tracks from Frances Julian Jabre, Austrias Peter Kruder (under his Voom Voom guise) and the UKs Flytronic and Swag. Big funky disco-fied basslines without any of that cheesy filtered nonsense, this is quality forward thinking house grooves the way they should be done - way to go Ralph!
