London’s Gus Paterson returns to Citizens Of Vice, adding a new three‑track parcel to a discography that already includes solid appearances on Bordello a Parigi and Solar Phenomena Music. The “Playing Games” EP features two damn-good originals and one oh-yeah-baby remix by Dan Idjut. As usual, Paterson deals in a sun‑touched strain of House Music – the kind you’d cue up when the afternoon is still young and the pool is the main attraction, or the terrace is still catching the last warm rays. No peak‑time bombs here, just steady, confident grooves that know how to ease a room into its evening without ever pushing too hard.

“No More” sits at 110 BPM, a pace that encourages a slow shoulder roll rather than a sprint – a gentle shift of weight from foot to foot. Piano chords float in with a lazy, inviting feel, while the percussion keeps a quiet, steady chatter underneath. A few vocal hooks peek through now and then – nothing pushy, just enough to catch your ear and linger for a moment. Synths drift in and out like clouds, adding colour without clutter. Paterson builds the track with a light touch, never overstuffing the frame. Perfect for the moment when the sun is still up and the night hasn’t asked for its turn yet, a textbook warm‑up cut that doesn’t feel like waiting.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Juno Download page of the label.
