PETE BLAKER - NEVERENDING/DONNA NOT DONNA

Newcastle's Hot Biscuit Recordings peddle white label records of much variety and obscurity - though many are anonymous edits, this one by Pete Blaker is, obviously, known. A rhapsodic pair of pieces, 'Neverending' recalls the climactic heights of French house when it gets all arpy and cascadey, while 'Donna Not Donna' is a curious grower, working in refractive, hard-panned piano echoes, on-beat power chords and a wonky disco bassline.
