Eighteen months ago or so we interviewed a quietly enigmatic, if audibly excellent producer known by the vowel-affronting moniker of PRDCTV. Maintaining a similar level of soul while reinserting the fundamental cruxes of the English language, PRDCTV reemerges from Oxford's murkiest shadows, resurrected to return as Deco Child. An EP entitled Pray dropped late last year on Ninja Tune although if you missed it first time round it's still indisputably worth a spin. And then another, and another, ad infinitum. The highlight however is the title-track: five minutes of swelling house, otherworldly vocal samples, and sonorous rhythm. It waxes and wanes playfully, tantalisingly, eventually crescendoing fully and with forceful menace before inevitably petering out, leaving you with nothing but exhilaration-indebted exhaustion to contend with.
