Southside Shuffle is the love child of Lost My Dog head honcho Pete Dafeet. Back after a two year hiatus during which a fledgling Lost My Dog has grown into one of the UK's leading house labels (to quote DJ Mag and iDJ Magazine), Southside Shuffle aims to showcases fresh and innovative music from around the world, specialising in deep house and electronic grooves. With releases to come from a mix of household names and fast developing talent, the label aims to make a mark on 2008.

So to this EP: Fresh from a tour of the US west coast and releases on Robsoul, Detour, and Lost My Dog, Pete kicks us off with four new tracks filled with old school flavour and deep melodic vibes. In No Return, crunchy beats and rhythmic cowbells underpin a dirty warehouse groove with more than a nod to Detroit. Cloakroom Queue is a funky bouncer full of old school bits and bobs over a wicked groove, while Pete takes it deeper with the last two tracks: Footprints is subterranean deep house with subtle touches of acid and analogue warmth throughout, whilst Green Mirror unites warm Rhodes and spoken word for a wholly cosmic groove, man.
