Humandrone – Yellow EP [WPHYELLOW]
We Play House with their limited series. A new artist from Japan called Humandrone a.k.a. Takaaki Shibuya, with his twist on jackin’ Chicago rhythms. A twist deeply melancholic, almost Detroit like, showing us that Chicago music can be both jackin and musical at the same time.
Arttu – Fear Diluted [PHP052]
Arttu aka Lump comes with two tracks of raw minimal music with an edge and unpredictable arrangements.
Ricardo Miranda – Floorwax [HHYR014]
Hour House is Your Rush is releasing an EP from Chicagoian Ricardo Miranda. ‘Floorwax’ urges us to do the damn thing, assuming that he leaves us no choice but to slam dance to this hypnotic acid work out. ‘Redline’ starts out with just drums and a pulsating acid line, but halfway through a utopian string line eases in and shows us the way to the promised land.
Benny Rodrigues – I Like Acid [BAO029]
Rotterdam’s Benny Rodrigues’ interpretation of acid house takes the form of ”I Like Acid”, and surely it sounds classic! Acid synth madness like in the old days but with an updated touch. ”Choice” hypnotic appeal will not get unnoticed on the floor, once again a track that finds its strength in the basic structure of its arrangement, effective drums patterns with a ”freakish” top line that carry the track into peak time. Steve Rachmad as ”Sterac” and Mike Dehnert are providing the remixes for ”I Like Acid”, to close the EP.
