6th Borough Project - The Deal EP

Last spotted back in 2024, Scottish deep house/disco fusionists 6th Borough Project (AKA old pals Craig Smith and Graeme Clark AKA The Revenge) are overdue a return to action. It seems fitting then that this welcome return to Delusions of Grandeur gleefully celebrates what they do best: namely hypnotic, disco and boogie-flecked deep house loop jams.

Smith and Clark recall their late noughties work for Instruments Of Rapture on opener 'The Deal', where woozy electric piano stabs, sampled sax and short vocal snippets rise above a duty, locked-in groove, before reaching for looser, bongo-laced beats, squelchy synth bass and hazy pads on 'The Hertz'. 'Let Me Know' is a trippy, acid-flecked affair with a constantly building vine, while 'For Life' is an attractive slab of warehouse-ready deep house chug.
