Two very solid cuts here from St Petersburg, a producer you suspect gets up in the morning and knocks out three decent disco jams before most of us have finished our coffee. In the red corner we have ‘Cherry Funk’ itself, a midtempo nu-disco/boogie/funk gem with wistful male vocal snips, Rhodes squiggles and lush chords. In the blue corner, meanwhile, ‘Let It Go’ is a warm-up friendly affair in which barely-there snippets of crowd chatter eventually cede space to an R&B-ish female vocal, with both sitting atop an unhurried, luxurious, lounge-y backdrop. Now you just need a poolside and some sunshine! – Juno Download
