Andy Ash – Broken Nights EP [BKR002]

Wonderfull languorous slice of laid back slo mo house that fuses together loose limbed percussion, an old school riff and haunting, pitch shifted vocals. The tracks builds in intensity as the arrangement progresses, bringing the piano to the fore and shifting up a gear with hypnotic vocals that give the record a truly balaeric feel, quality stuff.

DJ Aakmael – Deepermotions [UNX001]

New project by Dj Aakmael featuring 4 raw and smoked out house bangers shouting out to many of the Deep House legends. Lots of gritty, dirty chopped-up chords riding heavy beats showinf Aakmael’s love for that classic sound, featuring deep and warm organ chords topped off with lovely voices.

Lapien – Anvers EP [BLIQ004]

‘Anvers’, the French name for Belgian port Antwerp, starts in unassuming manner, synths swimming, bass pondering, a gentle cymbal tapping. It’s the sound of thoughtful admiration, as if Lapien is standing in front of the city’s towering gothic cathedral, motionless in the midst of a now modern metropolis. But then, as loops spring uncomfortably back and an insistent beat thunders into the fray, one realizes that this is no time for admiring architecture; this is a night drive through the city – coarse orange streetlamps, chrome blue reflections, droplet-stained window panes. Remixes by Conforce and Fred P.
