Inspirado na capital britânica, consegue ir tocar nas homenagens à cena de house parisiense, onde está baseado. Empregando muita instrumentação ao vivo os samples escolhidos são subtis.
O EP começa com o single de lançamento - "Innervision". Wayne Snow participa com a sua mangnífica voz. Em crescendo, é uma faixa que chega fundo. O vídeo segue aqui em baixo.
E o resto deste "Innervision" toca sem esforço. Em "Peckham Rye" sentimos a cidade em movimento rotineiro sem precisar de a observar. De headphones no metro ou no bus... sublime. E é nessa em que está o core deste trabalho. Música urbana, que apesar de movimentada, consegue reduzir a tensão diária. O privilégio de poder escutar pedaços deste género, nunca terá preço no sótão.
