  • Manchester producer salute has been behind some of the most memorable recent dance floor sugar rushes. His new EP, Ultra Pool, is his first since switching to a style of speed garage that incorporates French house influences. "Pleasures" is the pick of the litter, lassoing and chopping glassy keys and a dreamy guitar loop into a high-flying groove, with an instructional-style vocal sample that reminds me of Bob Sinclar's 1998 classic "Gym Tonic." salute jacks up the track's already brightly-coloured atmosphere with shuffling percussion and well-rounded bass that bumps and snaps for maximum impact.
