As the D EDGE label clocks up release number 24, it turns to the Phil Hinter Ensemble for a fantastic three track package that is lled with fresh house vibes. Phil Hinter Ensemble is a joint project by Phil's main pillars Philogresz and German Simon Hinter. They have ties with labels like their own Phil, Love Unlimited Vibes and of course D-EDGE.  Previous EPs have gone down well around the world and Simon Hinter's smart grooves and sample based ll-ins blends with the wombastic bass and shivering synth lines of Philogresz perfectly. Up rst is 'The Owl,' a squelchy, synthetic house track with lively drums and chords and magical trumpets all making for a party starting track. It is perfectly arranged and expertly musical, unlike much of today's plastic and sample heavy sounds.  'In The Air' then gets even more playful with glossy synth stabs, rumbling bass and diva vocals all bouncing along in a charismatic style that is full of colour. 'Struggle' then gets intimate and nal with scurrying little percussive sounds, burst of afro vocal, down low sine waves and icy snares all making for a perfectly seductive minimal techno brew.
