Suspect – The Tevo Howard Files [THUG004]
Remix package of Suspect… not sure who the artists is, but the title suggest it’s another Tevo Howard project?! Retro Chicago tracks with analogue drums and synths.
Semtek – West Acyd Shelter EP [DBA004]
The fourth release on Don’t Be Afraid “West Acyd Shelter” takes one of the most important jazz funk records of the 1970’s as its starting point. Semtek rebuilds the legendary hook from scratch over a disorienting range of acid, broken and techno accoutrements leaving a tweaked out bassline stepper. Photonz bring their unique style to the proceedings with an “I can’t believe it’s not garage” take on Semtek’s beat. The B-side “East Acyd Shelter” is a sparse analogue workout.
Prostitune – Justfixit [JAB004]
Just another pair of deep and dope House grooves from Prostitune for Just Another Beat. He’s evidently down for a boogie this time, pushing the tempo up slightly for the swing-jacking, swirling and seductive Chicago-meets-Detroit drive of ‘Justfixit’, while ‘Nj Turnpike’ offers some beatdown contrast for the deeper corners of the night.
