As the Ukranian scene continues to blossom, Kiev House serves a vital role in bringing some of the most interesting lesser-known producers to the attention of the record buying public. On Morning Smoke, Youngg P demonstrates just how much scope for startling, fresh sounds can still be found in the house music formula. The title track is a full-bodied affair that uses crunchy drums and bloated bass to cut through billows of foggy pads. "Lame Fetish" meanwhile deals in a sprightly kind of broken beat and then "Acid Tool" works with playfully spooky themes to make for a brooding club workout. Steve Murphy's hazy remix of "Morning Smoke" is the perfect closer - as strung out a slice of house music as you could ever wish for.
