Mr. Beatnick – Sun Goddess EP [DBA008]
Taking inspiration from classic rare groove Boogie and Detroit House, the dangerously underrated London tunesmith drops his most impressive 12″ to date. Mr. Beatnick delivers dusted Rhodes and warmest, Theo P-esque strings and bassline on ‘Sun Goddess’, beside the Kassem Mosse-gone-Balearic vibes of ‘Beneath The Reef’. Flipside he’s in a friskier mood with the tight Boogie-Tech shimmy of ‘Shifting Sands’, primed to work it from Panorama Bar to Plastic People, while ‘Savoir Faire’ tips out on classic-sounding Gallic deep disco vibe.
Wesley Matsell – Zones Within Zones [BARN009]
Studio Barnhus number nine is called Zones Within Zones – it’s an EP by Wesley Matsell and includes 4 tracks: The Unmaker (euphoric Soundhack-meets-Junior Boy’s Own rave smasher), Ultra Vivid Parse (noisy Chicago-on-‘roids stomper), Mind Vs. Mind (trippy-as-fuck tech house funkster) and Pyramideleven (gggnnnaaaaaahhh).
Shane Lineham – Do You Know Who You Are [LT009]
Local Talk continues to deliver the goods with a cracking new release via Irishman Shane Linehan, who gives us a real New Jersey styled house dub that really sounds amazing. With thumping beats and raw stabs its a a real house nugget for the working house DJ. But! To make the release even stronger we’ve included a classy remix from Local Talks very own Fulbert that combines the early 90s NYC and Paris underground house sounds.
Subb-An – What I Do (Remixes) [CP021]
With its 21st release, Subb-an “What I Do” remixes, Culprit reinvigorates one of its signature tracks, while introducing three long-admired talents to the label: Tom Trago, Konrad Black and Burnski.
