Neville Watson – One Four Green [TNG004]
Neville Watson’s original ‘One Four Green’ is the obvious highlight, a wiggly bottomed but robust jacker with hands-on drum machine tweaks and lovely melodic developments working just the right side of proggy. Remixing, Deep Space Orchestra beam it into more ecstatic cosmic house zones and Perseus Traxx has his tracky way.
Florian Kupfer – Florian Kupfer [LIES014.5]
Debut release by new artist Florian Kupfer. On this four song 12 inch we’re taken through a wild journey of a man and the story of his machines. Very emotional and human feeling, these lovingly saturated tracks move through the worlds of techno and house in subtle, unassuming fashion though totally distinct in their own right as each song possesses its own personality regardless of the man/machine relation.
Anthony Naples – El Portal [TTT008]
Anthony Naples adds The Trilogy Tapes to his growing impressive discography with the superb El Portal EP. A true statement and this is impressive stuff; doling out raw abstract deep house that threatens to swell over on the title track, while “Pueblo” provides a rough downtempo rhythm whose scrappy hi-hats come laden with funk and a jazzy piano refrain. On the flip, “Busy Signal” provides house track whose sweet chords are counterbalanced by a particularly driving rhythm.
