Various ‎– Leads & Bites Vol. 2 - Ibadan

Ibadan's first Leads & Bites EP, released some five years ago, was a little less than an all-star celebration of everything that's good about the long-running New York imprint. This belated follow-up is, happily, every bit as good. Jerome Sydenham kicks things off with a brand new edit of Kerri Chandler's string-laden, disco-meets-deep house jam "Atmospheric Dub", before the same producer joins forces with hip-house legend Tyree Cooper on the Ego Trip style bleep-house bump of "Universal Rhythm". Flip for two more Sydenham edits: an undulating, disco-not-disco take on Free Radicals' "I Just Can't Turn It Loose", and a sparkling, stretched-out revision of Kerri Chandler's Earth People remake of Pal Joey's brilliant early '90s, Chic-sampling gem "Dance".
