Matt Early & Lee Jeffries Feat. Will Bee – Rocketship (Lockdown Grooves)
In a pretty unimpressive week of releases for house music, this one shines out even more than it normally would. Matt Early delivers a traditional soulful take and another where things go in a more jazzy direction – and both do a good job of things.

They should move aside, and watch DJ MJ showing them how it’s done. This has a real sense of fun about it.
