Ed Shepherd delivers again a manifold release with a proper Acid Live Jam on the a side and a classic Housetrack with disco elements on the flip.

Another entry into the Lonesome Hero roster, Ed Shepherd. Having hoarded an arsenal of hardware goodies, Shepherd employs his passion for all things analog into a beast of a 3-track EP. ‘Remedy’ grabs 90s acid house by the shirt collar and shoves it into the modern vinyl scene with a heady LFO drone that just won’t quit. Changing direction, ‘Britta’ epitomizes the fleshed-out inner romanticism Shepherd continually uncovers throughout his ever-evolving studio process. And then ‘Beaker’, an homage to Techno’s sequenced-and-squelchy Dan Bell era.

Forth Lonesome Hero release features a solid house track that kicks off with an intoxicating metalic bassline that hypnotically segues into The Rasundas’ staple groove-heavy drums, with an achingly timeless piano peppered all over the top. On the flip-side, the boys over at Campaign of Love handle the remix duties. By tracking it out a bit, COL have roughed up the original with a combination of strings and 909 snares, while keeping the spirit of the original mix alive with a snippet of its massive bassline.
