The headline of 'Sunset Pool Disko Vol. 5' sits at the very end. 'Bringing The Good Times Back' pairs Kathy Brown — the voice behind Praxis' 'Turn Me Out', a US dance chart number one in its 1997 reissue, and Soul Central's 'Strings of Life (Stronger on My Own)' — with Jet Boot Jack, and hands the result to Richard Earnshaw, who had already remixed the track for Blockhead Recordings. Here it arrives as a Dub Revision: 126 BPM, Ab minor, the vocal trimmed down to stray phrases. Serving a hook of that calibre in dub form is a booth decision, not a radio one; Earnshaw keeps the essentials and trusts the groove to do the rest.
The other cut with real weight is Harlem Dance Club's 'Boom Boom': 7:50, more than a minute longer than anything else on the set. At 123 BPM in Eb minor, that length isn't padding, it's method — the only track here that takes its time building and dismantling its groove, disco layers drifting in and out unhurried. On a compilation of five- and six-minute cuts built to slide in and out of a mix, it works as the spine.
Then there's Paul Parsons, the name that repeats most. He signs 'Just Can't Stop' on his own, returns with 'Take Me There' — 117 BPM, the slowest tempo of the seventeen — and shares credits with Block & Crown on 'Fresh For 24-7' at 118. His three appearances hold down the record's rhythmic floor: while everything else moves between 121 and 128, Parsons works the slow lane, where funky house breathes best.
Context helps read the selection: RH2 is a compilation factory — series like House Boutique and Play It! — with a Beatport catalogue counted in the thousands of tracks. At that output rate, tucking a historic house voice into the final groove of a fifth volume says more about whoever curates these than any press note would.
