Session Victim – The Haunted House of House [DOGCD002]
Delusions of Grandeur presents ‘The Haunted House Of House’ the debut album by Session Victim. Opening track Dark Sienna sets the mood and serves as a good taster of what you can expect from their highly accomplished debut. We’re talking looped up deep-disco territory here with a lovely mid-tempo rolling groove driven along by open hats and a square wave bassline, lush string sections and dubbed vocal hits all adding heat to the mix.
Herzel & Genoveva – No More Lies EP [OHWL#HG]
Musical mysteries from Macedonia are what Herzel and Genoveva bring us on this special Other Heights-project. Unity and eclecticism are melted together in one empowering EP, which is sealed with a remix by Alveol.
William Kouam Djoko – We Are Your Brothers & Sisters [RHVD007 ]
William Kouam Djoko’s debut on Hursh Hour Voyage Direct. With this new release by the The Hague native, the label continues to release Dutch only artists. William delivers some late night house goodies here. The title track is a pulsating and hypnotic track that leads with a repetitive ‘We Are Your Brothers & Sisters’ vocal before diving into an epic organ and drum break. ‘Enforce YS’ is a deeper, warmer synth track that really gets under your skin after a few listens.
VA – Dekmantel Anniversary Series Part 5 [DKMNTLAS5.5]
Final 12″ in the series with the mighty Redshape killing it one side and Fudge Fingers ending it all on a very positive note. Redshape’s Flexx is continuing that tradition of quality outputs, being a mid-tempo house-fused techno jam for club heads alike, while Fudge Fingas’ Light My Life is a some subtle yet powerful string-inflected downtempo house track.
VA – Disco In Distress Part 2 [AO014]
Amplified is back with the second part of the acclaimed Disco In Distress series. Quell is joining in the action delivering a stunning deep house gemm in Glengoyne! Lay-Far once again shows his talent for deep ‘n slow disco vibes. Nicholas delivers a very strong and original disco-gospel tune called Blessing. Last but not least, Sellouts comes with Telling Everybody a long and mesmerizing disco nugget.
