Paul Neary – LEMONADE EP [Bosom LTD]

Paul Neary – LEMONADE EP (12″ vinyl only) [Bosom LTD]

In the domain of underground club culture, where vinyl aficionados and analog sound devotees converge, Paul Neary’s LEMONADE EP for Bosom LTD delivers a compelling statement of minimal-tech precision and textured groove. From the very first side-A cut, “Lemonade”, Neary sets the tone with stripped-back drums, a taut bassline, and haunting vocal fragments, creating a keen balance between floor-focused momentum and studio-crafted sound design. The subsequent track “Lizard Lounge” leans further into subterranean realms: modulated FX dance around a skeletal rhythm, offering a sound-scape that privileges space and tension over overt melodics.

Flipping to side B, “Hotels & Jam” introduces a slightly more organic chord progression and rhythmic shuffle, yet remains clearly anchored in Neary’s philosophy of ‘less is more’. The highlight is the Leanca remix of “Hotels & Jam” — a deft reinterpretation that preserves the skeleton of the original but injects new energy via subtle pitch-modulation, added movement and re-imagined percussion layering. The remix exemplifies the label’s ethos: limited vinyl only, for the dedicated listener, the selector, the collector. 

Bosom LTD, based in Braga, Portugal, continues its vinyl-only run of releases committed to underground authenticity.  This EP fits perfectly within that vision — the pressing is strictly limited, the format analogue, and the sound deliberately aimed at those who appreciate tactility, groove and subtlety rather than mainstream maximalism.

From a DJ perspective, the four cuts offered are ideal for late-night sets: deep, hook-lite, groove-rich but never showy. Neary knows his audience: the vinyl-diggers, the underground purists, the club spaces that value texture. For label chiefs scanning for a record that rides between minimal techno and groove-driven club rhythm, this is a win. For listeners drawn to the warm snap of 12″ vinyl, the analog hiss, the ritual of drop-in and mix-out, LEMONADE hits the mark.

In conclusion, Paul Neary’s EP is a refined and purposeful pick for those operating in the underground club realm, especially for DIY selectors, crate-diggers and vinyl purists. It upholds the ethos of independent labels, embraces the analogue experience, and delivers four tracks that reward repeated listens and careful mixing.
