  • Stripped-back and funky—Robin Ordell knows what makes a Sunday afternoon anthem.

  • Robin Ordell came up as part of London's '00s Sunday scene, where he pushed a brand of groovy deep house to keep punters in space for a few more hours before reality sunk in. Given his long and impressive CV, it's surprising how fresh his latest EP on his label No Time County sounds. The record is bolder and more confident than his previous releases—check those bongos on "What Is It" or the stargazing synths on "Timecomp." But the real standout is "Thinkbelt." Built around slippery snares and one of the warmest and wettest basslines you're likely to hear, he seasons the track with dashes of melody with a chef's nuance. This is soigne house of the highest order.
