Psychemagik – Heelin’ Feelin’ [PJPN001]
Psychemagik are back and this time it’s a limited edition issue of their Healin’ Feelin series edits on CD. Ass Nation, Make it Mellow, Diamond Star, Upskirt, Milky Way, Boogie Drome, For Your Love and Aldeia De Ogum are all present and correct and are joined by two previously unreleased and totally exclusive edits, Andalucia evokes images of sun drenched skies and dusty Andalucian mountains and a fresh drum heavy reworking of one of the duo’s first ever releases, on Discoteque Wreckers, Runnin’ Pt 2, that seems bound for dancefloor glory.
Capablanca & T. Keeler – Acido [GOMMA173]
Gomma records’ Berlin posse is busy. Hugo Capablanca joins forces with Swedish amigo T. Keeler. The second one for Gomma. They started with an epic Flamenco Percussion Disco track last summer – now they go deep into proto electronica.
Octo Octa – Oh Love [SILK023]
Brooklyn’s Octo Octa pushes all the right buttons on his 2nd solo EP for 100% Silk. A-side stars the Aaliyah-sampling winner ‘Deep Hurt’, economically putting an over-used sample to fresh use in a percolating House context beside the Jersey swing of ‘Oh Hurt’. Flipside, the lights are dimmed for the warm chords, choice vocal samples and woozy subs of ‘Night Out’, and ‘I Can Feel You (Dub)’ rides that heat-hazy, sticky House vibe all the way to the middle of the floor.
La Vampires By Octo Octa – Freedom 2K [SILK031]
LA Vampires aka Not Not Fun & 100% Silk matriarch Amanda Brown returns alongside Octo Octa, on a sterling clutch of sensual, elegant House trax backed with a Malvoeaux remix. She suits the dreamy vocalist role beautifully contributions to ‘His Love’, and the raving request ‘Whereever, Boy’, and works best sailing high above the sweetly off-key ‘Freedom 2K’.
