NYC-based Bristol exile Milo Johnson AKA DJ Nature has long enjoyed a good relationship with Futureboogie Recordings, having first provided remix services for the West Country label back in 2013. This, though, is still his first EP for Dave Harvey’s imprint. His loose, groovy and jazz-flecked style of deep house naturally comes to the fore on warm and melodious opener “Born Lifted”, while the slightly more driving, sample-heavy “My Life” recalls his early ’90s work as Nature Boy. “What Isn’t” is a dusty deep house producer’s take on electro-tinged instrumental hip-hop (reflective of his ’80s work as part of Massive Attack’s Wild Bunch collective) while “Loving You More” cannily joins the dots between lo-fi deep house, Balearic dreaminess and classic jazz-funk.
