joe cleen: chapters ep
Francisco Espregueira
Joe Cleen, also known as Matthias Zimmermann, is back with another slab of disco heaters on SlothBoogie. Following SBEDITZ004 (2018) , Time For Love EP (2019), Routines EP (2021), the Berlin native presents another collection of essential edits and full reworks. Chapters EP is composed by six tracks that receive a brilliant treatment by the German producer, travelling from Korea to US, Canada and more to deliver a careful selection of sample-based disco grooves.
As per usual, Joe Cleen’s output goes directly into the bags of soulful house collectors. Chapters EP is an energetic affair that marches victoriously through the night. That is specially evident in tracks such as “The Juice”, “I’ll Be There” or “Disco Emergency”. He’s also able to roam to more intimate themes like the touching “Summer Wind” or the brilliant “Shine Your Light”. The musicality of Joe Cleen’s productions shine through on this one, not holding back on the disco factor with this vital collection that is available on vinyl.
