New Jersey’s DJ Qu lays down another dancer’s spesh on ‘Law’ backed with Brothers Vibe dub and Sascha Dive remix. This guy basically has the latin deep house shake on lock with a rack of crisp and punchy drums, submerged strings and that innately classical touch that signifies the best of his tracks for Strength Music and Underground Quality. Brothers Vibe reinforce this with a standardised dub mix and Dive takes the pace down for a deeper swingers mix.
“Drawing Clouds” focuses on the raw techno aspect of Andrés Zacco’s production. Never forgetting the more dubby textures and winding electrics so dear to the Argentine master of wizardry, he creates yet another enthralling landscape right at the first seconds of the title track. As the maelstrom wraps around your mind, the unbeatable rhythms and fast-pace of the flip “Space Mountain” wallop your body for a tremendous trek.
The Detroit band project (Moodymann, Anthony Shake Shakir and DJ Stingray) makes their debut on Planet E with this nice melodic yet ruff house/ techno hybrid.
Deep techno, from the masterful Samuel L. Session. Four takes on the same track – all solid, dark driving beats and wobbly atmospheres. Another strong release from Len Faki’s Figure imprint.
SCSI is back with a classy Detroit techno record which has been sat in the vaults for quite some time waiting patiently to be released. As the second part of the Lost Trax series expect deep bass, booming 808 kicks and Carl Craig-esque sounding strings. The Lost Trax series is a project for producers who have inspired the label to record something special and release anonymously as we don’t believe it’s necessary to sell music on the strength of a specific artist’s reputation.
Mule Electronic proudly announce the debut release of italian producer Donato Dozzy, with his friend Claudio Fabrianesi. The music of their collaboration are very different with the usual sound of Donato. You can associate this new Donato track with Larry Heard or Theo Parrish or slow mo house producer like Mark E.
This EP is the debut release for Shift London and is Red Rack’em akaDanny Berman’s deepest release to date. “Underground” sees a dubbed out Detroit groove teased out over a driving bass line and understated kick drum. “Exhalt” tunnels even further into the machine functions of ever so warm deep house, with the quirkiest of synth lines arising in unison with a kick drum from the electronic ether to smile inducing results.
Skudge make their machine music the old way. They channel these processes into their heavyweight dub sound.
Jennifa digs deep into her bag for two dreamy house numbers plus ethereal remixes by Isoul8/Volcov & Marco Nega. Mostly instrumentals, bathed in a warm, uplifting glow.
Patrick Specke enters the floor with some smiling excursions of deepness on Hello… Also a late night groove remix by Delano Smith!
Cool release again on Mojuba! The a-side Bass Mood is featuring a disco break styled beat combined with a sick acid bassline… kind of the way Gerd and Pittmann can do it! A special trac that creates special moments on the floor! The b-side with Funk Advice is cooling things a little down, in the known dub light techno way of Oracy!
“Sun” is the first release in a Kenton Slash Demon trilogy on Tartelet called “Schwarzchild Trilogy” inspired by the elements that form our galaxy. The Sun 12″ features a remix from the much hyped Alan Abrahams aka Portable / Bodycode, from Portugal who made added vocals, deepness and classic Mr. Fingers Juno-6 bass line – deep and clever.
