Prof Delacroix – Build Her Remixes [DBRV010]
As the Deepblak Ten year Anniversary continues, it’s time to revisit Prof. Delacroix’s deep classic “Build Her”. Beautiful classic deep house tracks with a rawer edge wich takes away the over kill on artificial sweetnes. Comes with Afrikan Science, Fred P and Aybee remixes.
Nicholas – Free To Be [4LUX1105]
The second single from his forthcoming flux album, Still Playing House, is a beast. “Free To Be” is a house-submerged affair, as low-slung as they come and in a classic Murk vibe. Berliner Hunee delivers a spot on remix on the title track and brings it into deeper territory. He is transforming the original mix into something fuller, warmer and almost epic. “Down To Nothing” is another slow pumping house nugget. With its soothing and soaring synths, ebb-and-flow arrangement, inviting melody and vocals, this is another bomb fitting every house set. Things get even slower with “Why Don’t You”. A great house tune with a sensuous vibe.
Crackboy – Back To The Future [CRACKBOY001]
Crackboy sticks two fingers up to the chin-stroking shoe-gazing deep house heads and drags us to the middle of the peak-time dancefloor with this Prince / Sueno Latino-sampling bootie! “Back To The Future”, aka “The Future” by Prince, gets a rocking house revamp on side A, one that will be sure to have everyone in a sweat. “Ebeneezer Knight” might have you worrying that the Shaman would be involved somewhere along the line, but actually this is a fattened up version of late 80s Manuel Gottsching-sampling Italo house classic “Sueno Latino” by Sueno Latino. Simple, effective music – nothing fussy, nothing over-worked, just tailor-made for dancing.
Simon Weiss – Yesterday Is Around [HOMETAPING011]
Simon Weiss’ debut solo release on the Hometaping imprint called “Yesterday Is Around”. There is an undeniable warmth to the expertly looped strings and delicate vocal sample that will turn many an ear, whilst the rhythms and textures are delightfully fuzzy. Alongside it Weiss flexes his percussive muscle on the expertly poised beatdown of “Bird Movement” which is notable for some excellent pitch shifted melodics, whilst “Body Signature” is delightfully sloppy.
