This two-tracker from Local Talk – originally released in limited numbers on vinyl – appears to be the result of some smart thinking on behalf of the Swedish label. It sees ordained minister and all-round Detroit house and techno legend Terrence Parker put his slant on two of the most gospel-influenced cuts in the imprint’s sizeable back catalogue. Parker first works his magic on Jamie 326 and Masalo’s “Testify”, serving up a bouncy, all-action peak-time house rub full of crunchy Clavinet lines, bold piano riffs, heavy organ stabs and inspiring gospel vocal snippets. Arguably even better is the Detroiter’s interpretation of Art of Tones’ “I Just”, which looks to classic piano house for inspiration with predictably fine results.
