Duncan Powell – Pushing [2NDRP12010]
Duncan Powell offers a classic slice of, “James Bond Step”. A big string laden anthem. A goldmine of musical elements, ‘Pushing’ was ripe for the remix treatment by Falty DL, who transformed ‘it into a dark, broken 2-step swinger with flashes of vocals and strings, to awesome effect.
Cosmin TRG – Liebe Suende [RHDC04]
Cosmin TRG is back with his 2nd release in the Direct Current Series on Rush Hour. This time he loses the steppy beats and turns out two fierce house tracks, yet he keeps his signature cut up r&b samples and the future attitude.
Delano Smith – I Fly EP [UT08]
Classic Detroit house tracks from Delano Smith with some help of Norm Talley on Kolour Off Shoot Undertones. Deeper tracks with lush keys and pumping basslines.
Mike Dehnert – Air Frais EP [ECHOCORDCOLOUR013]
Mike Dehnert offers three bouncing chunks of dub techno for Echocord’s colour series. ‘Treillis’ sets off to a laidback momentum with chrning dub bass joined by spooky metallic noises. ‘Pompage’ is more typical Dehnert, getting the blood going with pumping bass and agile, offset syncopations. ‘Thermique’ returns to the ghoulish dub techno style with a palette of stray noises and stabs calcified around his heaving bassline and efficient percussion.
