DJ Nasty is a Detroit electro veteran, with a career spanning 15+ years. Nasty is back with a new EP of deep Detroit electro funk! The kind we don’t hear too often these days. This EP started back in 2008 scheduled to be released on the late Aaron Carl’s Wallshaker Records. Aaron and DJ Nasty worked on this EP between 2008-2009, however these tracks went unreleased due to the tragic passing of Aaron Carl the following year. The EP was unearthed by Detroit DJ Brian Gillespie, who along with his old friend DJ Nasty decided the time was right for the EP to be heard. So here it is..

Indulgence in Breisgau. Nestled in-between the Black Forrest and the Rhinetal it’s home to many a Michelin Star chef and renowned wine maker. Both traditionalists and young pretenders strive to reach perfection in detail, honesty and taste; qualities which are shared by the Freiburger label Foul & Sunk. This release brings together material from 6 new producers; Borrowed Identity & The Mechanical Soulbrother, Liquid Phonk and Frederick Block and Eiskaltes Haendchen. They all share one thing, their heritage: the region of Breisgau.

The house leaning off shoot of Fachwerk Records hits release number three here with a two track release from Reno Wurzbacher, the ‘housemate cousin’ of the crew who has already turned up on the label a couple of times. First up is the coy melancholia and pillow-y deep house of ‘The Love You Got’. It’s a grainy cut with grey scale textures and sultry voices contained with in the sparse groove. It strikes a nice late night mood before German master of the deep Sven Weisemann turns in his own remix. This version is more upright and weighty, with bulbous synth lines dropping into the mix, which is already awash with rippling pad puddles. Early in the evening, late in the night, either way both tracks here hit their intended mark perfectly….

Everybody needs vacations….even Dracula.

Second album in a series of previously unreleased material from the Signum Recordings archive. Maarten van der Vleuten recordings dates are from 1991 – 1998.

There are many ways to move forward as an artist. You can reinvent yourself, keep track of fashions, or try bold new things. Tom Trago has spent the best part of 10 years pushing his sound in impressive new directions. Yet on his new album, the well-regarded Amsterdam-based producer has done things slightly differently. This time round, his influences come from much closer to home, and he has admitted to being inspired by the dancefloor-focused style with which he made his name. The Light Fantastic is a dancefloor orientated club album with a range of influences like – deep house, vintage synthesizers, classic boogie, disco, Chicago jack, acid house, and even a dash of full-throttle rave revivalism.

Garrett David and Adam Rowe first met 4 years ago working together in the run-down offices of Dust Traxx. Since then they have graduated to roommates and co-workers at Chicago’s Gramaphone Records. With their debut release, the Boys deliver a unique and endearing house sound with a bit of quirk and machine-made flavor. An EP for the selectors, each track demands it’s own place within the night. B Free features their dear friend and vocalist, Shaun J Wright (ex. Hercules & Love Affair).

Houston born, LA based producer, singer, and songwriter Seven Davis Jr. brings his unique blend of smooth vocals, rough beats, and funky attitude to Jay Simon’s Must Have Records for his debut solo EP.

Optimo Trax is an offshoot label of Optimo Music for tracks aimed at DJs/dancefloors. These four tracks sound as great today as when they were made, over 20 years ago by Dutch techno veteran Maarten Van Der Vleuten, who should be a far more well-known name than he is, as he’s responsible for oodles of marvellous 12” singles.
