Despite both tracks appearing on BBE's killer retrospective of Pal Joey's influential early '90s work, 2013's "Hot Music", demand for original copies of the producer's 1990 EP "#2" has remained incredibly high. It makes sense, then, that the producer has decided to reissue the two-tracker. A-side "Party Time" combines spacey NYC deep house tropes and a surprisingly sub-heavy bassline with a hip-hop head's approach to sampling (the vocal hook was apparently lifted from a Brooklyn Express record). Arguably even better - and certainly deeper - is flip side "Raw Love", which savagely chops and loops loved-up lifts from MFSB classic "Love Is The Message" and turns them into hypnotic deep house gold.
