DJ Nature dropping four tracks of summer-tinged house music on Bristol-label Futureboogie feels like something of a full circle moment. In the early the 90s, the producer, who's from the city of Bristol, championed a sample-based sound via a sting of coveted releases under the guise Nature Boy, carving out a niche that continues to influence younger artists today. Recently he's been back on the scene under his Nature moniker, and the sultry style of his early work seems to have remained. On the EP's lead track "Born Lifted," Nature takes us upward with some soulful vocal styling set gently amidst lazy beats soaked with summer haze. It's kind of like sativa, for house music.
