Gene Hunt – Then & Now EP [HM004]
Gene Hunt’s first release was on the infamous TRAX imprint and he swiftly followed it up with a string of tracks that were personified by a strong influence from Detroit. Deep strings mixed with intricate drum patterns. This Ep with four killer tracks brings back old times.
VA – We Want You To Understand The Future Vol. 1 [PFS003]
New release on the Finnish ProForm Series, with tracks by Healium, Virta, Näköradiomies and CRC. “We Want You To Understand The Future Vol. 1” is founded in the past. The cues are taken straight from Chicago, with labels like Trax, DJ International and Westbrook coursing through these Finnish veins. The record offers up four cuts of 303 painted House, with a bit of Techno pebble dash. Each artist manages to produce a clever DJ friendly work within the boundaries of the prescribed sound. Four well constructed pieces of retrospection and another vinyl feather in the ProForm cap.
The Rhythm Odyssey feat Main Stem – Devil’s Tease [LPS014]
Dean Meredith’s The Rhythm Odyssey returns for his next single for Lip Service. This time he gets together with label mates Ben and vocalist James from The Main Stem to produce a tasty slice of classic, haunting house music with “Devils Tease. You can hear all those early influences in their dirty drum machines, deep bass, piano and strings like in all those early DJ international releases, then James’s vocal performance draws you further, deeper into the twilight hour.
