VA – Late Night Chronicles [SRT151]
A soundtrack for the time of the day when nothing really matters except the music you love. An after-hours musical narrative, crafted in unadulterated authenticity. Drivetrain brings on acclaimed writer/vocalist Diamondancer, dropping seductive expressions of passion and desire on “Peppermint Kisses.” Nate Mattimore makes his Soiree debute with veteran, Todd Perrine remixing CloudMasterWeed’s track “Sunny.” BlackJack’s ever-expanding repetoir of productions reaches a new level with his production “Triaxial.” “Quindrant Dub” is Professor Inc’s dark and nocturnal poison.

Andy Vaz – Straight Vacationing [YRE028LP]
Andy Vaz’s Straight Vacationing, his first full-length artist album since 2006, registers as less a straight-up collection of dance-floor burners and more of a variety pack that mixes club tracks and full-fledged house songs. Listeners hungry for just ordinary 4/4 throw-downs will not entirely get their share of those, but they’ll also get a whole lot more on this dynamic and well-rounded set of eight album tracks and that is exploring House Music not just as a simple one way street, but give you a very personal view of the music we call House. Straight Vacationing dives into the genre in all it’s rich variety: From deep melodic, early Chicago influenced Acid House, Jacking-Jedi Mind Tricks to Disco-type grooves and last but not least excursions into Bizzaro World, with a vaz typical almost psychedelic experimental-edged Sound, it’s all there.
Yasuo Sato – The Hikari EP [AES013]
Consistent with the previous Aesthetic Audio releases, Yasuo Sato formula is an wonderful rollercoaster of deepness, raw substance and timeless music that clearly will keep heads nodding.
Rondenion – Night Breeze EP [RR001]
Ragrange Records debuts with the label owner, Rondenion, delivering a killer house EP! The title track is a warm yet bass heavy tune with a serious groove. “Black Sky” follows in a real deep fashion. Flip it for “Mechanical Motion”, a harder edged track with an old school feel.
James Johnston – A New Day Begins [FA028]
James Johnston dives in even deeper territory with these four excellent US-inspired deephouse cuts. We have the dark sexy groover ‘A new day begins’, the sunny rhodes-driven ‘Drive around the city’, the smoked-out ‘Haze’ and the hypnotizing late-night workout ‘Why do they wanna go’.
