Techno Soul “Expectations EP” (1992)

via Juno: House reissue label Mint Condition landed with a bang late last year, delivering a 12″ that accompanied Pepe Bradock’s peerless remix of Iz & Diz’s 2002 classic “Mouth” with two previously unheard reworks from the eccentric French producer.

Here they offer a re-mastered re-press of Techno Soul’s sought-after 1992 EP, Expectations. Originally released on obscure Detroit label A.I.F Records, the title track boasts stronger UK influences – dub style sub-bass, breakbeat style house rhythms, and so on – then many Motor City productions of the period. Flipside “Flow With Me” sits somewhere between pitched-down Detroit techno and the smooth deep house of New Jersey producers such as Ben Cenac, while closer “I Need U” is a jaunty chunk of spacey deep house funk.
