Two eighties recordings which were taken from reel and have been remastered and made available for your pleasure. ‘Boxbeater’ especially is a track that was inspired by the slam dancers who used to go wild on the rhythm tracks Ron Hardy used to play at the Music Box. ‘Warm’ is a deeper, yet fierce, house cut, which was inspired on early ‘Rhythim Is Rhythim material.

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.

Fully Koded Chicagoians Traxx and Beau Wanzer team up for another Mutant Beat Dance release. Together they have produced arguably ‘the best 80s Chicago house record NOT made in the 80s. The Mutants call it Jakbeat, inspired by the early days of house music. ‘Let Me Go’ is as intense and rhythmically inclined as they come. Naughty Wood’s sparse vocals cry desperation, almost nearing insanity, which makes up for a pressure cooker like warehouse anthem. ‘Rottonfunk’ is another intense work out which has a killer groove and makes us wander off to the Promised Land (wherever that is).
Boo Williams is back on Rush Hour. This release features two heartfelt tracks that reach out and touch the soul. Always a producer that took his tracks a step further with his musicality, Boo knows how to keep his tracks exciting and in doing so he fades the border between house and techno music.

On the third Alfabet release Tom Trago and Awanto3 step it up a dozen of notches or so. ‘Hell Of Samba’ surely sounds as the theme tune of armageddon. ’Too Shy’ on the other hand sounds like we have died and woke up in heaven. A soothing, spaced-out, yet bass heavy jam that gives an strangely eerie feeling that angels are among us.
Xosar release featuring a blend of deep Detroit-style techno and leftfield ghost house; two originals and two remixes by Legowelt.

Kirk Degiorgio returns on Rush Hour with a new single, entitled ‘Divine Logic’. With ‘Divine Logic’ he keeps true to his own tradition by delivering a timeless piece of techno music. A string-laden track that evolves around an arpeggiated synth line. A classy joint that shows that the heritage of Detroit techno still lives on.

Vault Series is a cheeky little series where Rush Hour drops never before released tracks and mixes from its vaults as well as tracks which are in dire need of a re-release.

On the other side we find Aardvarck’s fun-loving-freestyle-disco-mash-up-party-jam, That Pig, remastered and extended.
