Mr. G, aka Colin McBean, presents a remastered, 23-track compilation entitled ‘OG Retrospective’. ‘The day I found my original studio masters and got my rights back was the starting point, and then I realised it’s 25 years on and it’s time to recode, remaster and reevaluate because I’ve never looked back properly. I’ve always been like a bat out of hell, never quite thinking I’m good enough or great at what I do, but it’s important to celebrate, because there’s nota lot of people still here, still doing it after this length of time’.

MR G presents JAYSON WYNTERS - Unfamiliar Territories EP

The G man found himself a protege. After the odd 50+ solo releases offered through his Phoenix G imprint Mr.G has found himself a young producer that has a style that connects with the Phoenix G output thus far. Mysterious Jayson Wynters offers a 4 track record that is hazy, technoid and threads into deep territories every now and then. ‘Unfamiliar Territories EP’ opens with the deep down perc jam named ‘Momentum’ a moody dubbish track that sets the tone for things to come. The title track offers a more emotive ride that’s being supported by tough saw basses and windy pads that float throughout. The B side openen Science is a tough house cut that is reminiscent of the glory days of US deephouse and sounds as a solid classic rather than a new cut. The closing down bit ‘1 more’ is the same story. Firmly produced drum patterns with classic bass sounds and hazy pads.

Mr.G – Night On The Town? [PGSEXLP1]

The G man returns to his Phoenix G home with a somewhat special album release. Where the usual Mr.G sound is still present on this LP, ‘Night On The Town’ showcases G’s more adventurous works and exposes some of his more exotic influences. African Rhythm sections, hints to EBM and low tempo chugs make this album very actual yet unique.
