Virgo Four interview
MD – It Ain’t What It Used To Be [X]
Mysterious released, no information about the label or the producer. Melodic retro acid house/techno, classic early 90s sounding Detroit stuff. “It Ain’t What It Ain’t” powers along on a snapping 808 drum track with a bubbling 303 bassline, big washy strings and jazzy synth solo. Flipside cut “Megapolitan Soul” is a sublime piece of beatdown house that oozes soul. a gospel / soul vocal, hand claps and Detroit house pads and efx make this an absolute blinder for me.
Dynamo Dreesen and SVN – Woodlandscene [ACIDO008]
Mini album from original raw Chicago house to atmospheric chilled electronics – with kind of Sahko style minimalistic approach.
Brawther & Chez N Trent – Brawther Remixes [BL013]
This new release includes Brawther takes his added interpretation of Chez N Trents ‘Don’t try it/Happy’ while keeping its original mood. Creatively done in good classic dub taste. Included in this remix package a new remix of the underground techno cut Le Voyage which has now been given the house treatment. It keeps getting better as Brawther also added to this smash 12 inch his own interpretation of the current Balance release of Saint Sebastion / Wipe the Needle “Life” and a added bonus and remix of Asteroids and Stardust by Chez Damier.
