The Nightlife EP is a Todd Terry influenced Eddie S. EP which was partially mixed by legendary house master Todd Terry himself. Eddie S. mixed the rest of him own EP by himself with no outside help or any in-house producers. He took control of all the songwriting too. This EP is quite smooth and hypnotic.
Why Fall? is a Lil Louis inspired house track hence the Lil Louis sample. You can obviously tell that Eddie S. was influenced by the sounds of Lil Louis just by the way he sampled his vocals ands songs all over this track. Lil Louis influenced a lot of house musicians, DJs, and producers back then.
The song Why Fall? contains samples of Lil Louis - I Called U (The Conversation), Lil Louis - I Called U (Why'd U Fall), and Lil Louis - I Called U (But U Weren’t There). Vocal samples and bits were taken from an acapella of the 1992 house hit Lil Louis - Club Lonely. Some of the instrumentation sampled Lil Louis - I Called U (But U Weren’t There).
Find A Friend has that unfiltered classic deep house sound from Eddie S. himself. Heavy bass, thin cymbals, and thick beats. The thick bass blends in perfectly with the deep house sound. The bass and beats are what really stand out.
Find A Friend is one of the smoother songs on this EP which has a hypnotic sound that will put you in a trance. Three words to describe Find A Friend are hypnotic, smooth, and classic. This is because the song has that classic deep house considered to be smooth by many house heads out there. The song is perfect for the club and dance floor.
Get With U was mixed by Todd Terry but written by Eddie S. himself. You can hear the Todd Terry influence obviously. The thick bass blends in perfectly with the deep house sound.
The Spell is one hypnotic track which uses looped synths and thin beats. This song has a more progressive sound which leans more towards electronic music than house music. Progressive is one word to describe The Spell.
I rate this EP 4/5****.
