Paul Davis is Circulation, the now-solo project with roots going back more than 25 years. The accomplished producer was a key part of the early UK tech house scene in the 90s and 00s also played around with disco and funk samples and put out some top-quality techno. Sasha was an early supporter of the Circulation sound so it makes sense that now Davis is back he lands on Last Night On Earth.
Opener ‘Flight’ is a widescreen and cinematic sound awash with fantastic synth work – they ripple above the warm bass and are smeared in all directions while more watery droplets and glassy keys add extra detail. The spoken word vocal sounds like a radio transmission from space and adds even more narrative. ‘New Way’ is another classy sound that mixes up undulating electronic rhythms with melancholic chords. There is a forlorn mood across the seven minutes as shifting leads and exotic vocals keep the groove moving and dancers locked in for an emotional ride.
Circulation’s ‘Flight | New Way’ comes on Last Night On Earth on February 14th 2025.
