Aubrey – Dark [Mowar005]

Originally released on Aubrey’s defunct label Dark, this untitled track is an 8-minute trip into a deep Basic Channel-like atmosphere. Dubbed out techno, melancholically resounding deep chords all layered on reverberating throbbing beats. The release comes with 2 perfectly fitting remixes by Modern Love artists Pendle Coven and Geophone’s Mike Parker.

Beat Pharmacy – Pump [SFV03]

PUMP

With five Beat Pharmacy albums and almost a dozen vinyl releases on Francois K’s Deep Space imprint, this dubby and eclectic project of Brendon Moeller needs no introduction. Chugging along at 120bpm, underpinned by a thick sub-dub bassline and a modulating Maurizio-style synth cord arpeggio, Pump is a hypnotic slap of deep smoky house with some memorable hooks to boot. Swirling rhodes keyboards and a slick piano riff serve as a lovely counterpoint to the swinging funk of the hi-hat groove.  With remixes by Echospace head honcho, Stephen Hitchell under his Intrusion guise and London’s Bearweasel this proves to be a solid package.

Marcellus Pittman – Erase The Pain [FIT001]

Dirty raw house tracks from Detroit! On a dark dance floor you will be given a glimpse into the heart and mind of Marcellus Pittman. FIT SOUND, a new imprint from Detroit,debut with an EP from the talented Detroit producer Marcellus Pittman. Erase The Pain, is a mutated acid banger carefully arranged to be absolutely devastating when in the right hands. Twisted bass lines and synths travel together and divert over a fierce jacking beat. Sync is a night drive through the city streets, but this night is strange because the sky has become purple. Grey buildings turn into unrecognizable forms. People standing on street corners, now appear to be zombies lurking in the darkness. Is this a nightmare or is this for real? Illa 5 Ela brings it all back to the days when you first felt love for that special somebody. Early white labels copies have been tested in clubs worldwide and the results are unanimous: KILLER. Follow Theo Parrish’s advice, “Don’t Sleep….Serious rugged service right here!”

Roni Nachum – Guest Service Shalom [FA017]

The Hebrew word “shalom” means peace but it’s also a greeting and sometimes a goodbye. For Roni Nachum, a young producer from Jerusalem, “Guest Service Shalom” is one hell of a hello. His vinyl debut, which so skillfully walks between deep house moods and techno’s edges, arrives care of the shrewd A&R work of Nitzan at Fine Art Recordings. It’s also backed by a superb, decompressing remix by Mark E.
