ItaloJohnson – 04 [ITJ004]
ItaloJohnson releases its fourth release. On the long recorded side, you’ll find a house track that can be hardly surpassed in any type in its directness. An unfussy arrangement, a straight oppressive subject and a low flying breakdown compose the A-stamped side. The concrete in-your-face-drumming, piano lessons and stabbing strings combined with the ItaloJohnson charm becomes the (double A) AA-side. Finally, the AA-2 track emotionally rounds up the release with ItaloJohnson’s trademark-sound in which all the brothers and sisters are invited to explore.
FCL vs VFB – Love Prescription EP [DOG022]
New collaborative project from Belgian duo FCL, San Soda and Red D, joining the omnipresent Danilo of Motor City Drum Ensemble for some seriously raw, stripped back and undiluted house music.
Christopher Rau & Tilman Tausendfreund – Pea Gravel EP [HYPE021]
Christopher Rau teamings up with Tilman Tausendfreund for the new release on Hypercolour. The pair turns in one effort each, plus two collaborative tracks on their Pea Gravel EP.
Jon McMillion – Saw You Looking (Remixes) [NEK002]
Four tracks from Jon McMillion’s wonderful eponymous LP get the remix treatment here on Seattle imprint Nuearth Kitchen. San Proper drops remixes of “Saw You Looking” and “Solette Simms”, with the fat chords and claps of the latter proving to be the highlight, although both efforts are worthy of many, many repeat listens. Elsewhere Ukrainian producer Vakula pops up to turn “Climbing Out” into a glacially paced jam replete with cosy pads and Motor City atmospherics. Amsterdam based duo Juju & Jordash turn in a moody analogue refix of “Love Of Parking” to round off an essential 12″.
Lady Blacktronika – The Ghost Spell According To [SB003]
The third release on Sound Black Recordings, featuring some deep sounds from Lady Blacktronika. The EP includes also a Fred P remix!
