Paul Cut - The Joy EP

Review by Ye Guohua

Alright, let’s dive into The Joy EP by Paul Cut. Released back in 2015 on Ondulé Recordings (a French label with a knack for vibey stuff), this little gem sits snugly in the Electronic and House genres, leaning heavily into Deep House, classic House vibes, and even a dash of Disco. It’s not gonna change your life or anything, but it’s one of those EPs that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. First off, big ups to Joss Moog for producing this thing and Paul Cut for mixing it all together. They’ve definitely got their ears tuned into what makes a track groove without overdoing it. The EP has three tracks: “The Joy,” “The Glow,” and “World.” I’ll zoom in on two because ain’t nobody got time for an essay here. Let’s start with “The Joy”—it’s the title track for a reason. From the first beat, it just feels… alive? Like, imagine walking through some dimly lit club where everyone’s lost in their own world but still connected somehow. That bassline is smooth as butter, and there’s this subtle layer of synths that kinda floats around like smoke rings. You don’t notice it right away, but once it clicks, you’re hooked. It’s one of those tracks that doesn’t scream for attention; instead, it whispers, “Hey, stick around for a bit.” And trust me, you will. Then there’s “The Glow”, which hits different. This one leans more into that disco vibe, with these funky guitar riffs popping in and out like they can’t decide if they wanna stay or leave. But honestly, that indecision works. There’s a warmth to it, like catching the sunset at the end of a long day. It’s not trying too hard—it just flows naturally. If “The Joy” is the deep conversation you have with someone special, “The Glow” is that moment when you both laugh about something silly and forget everything else for a sec. Now, I gotta say, this EP isn’t perfect. At times, it feels like it could push boundaries a bit more, ya know? But maybe that’s the point—it’s understated, chill, and content being exactly what it is. No frills, no fuss. Just good music made by people who clearly love what they do. Here’s the kicker though—listening to this EP reminded me how rare it is to find music that makes you feel nostalgic for moments you haven’t even lived yet. Like, how does that even work? One minute you’re nodding your head, and the next you’re dreaming about places you’ve never been. Weird, right? Anyway, give The Joy EP a spin if you’re into Deep House with soul. Or if you’re not. Who knows—you might just stumble onto something unexpected.
