Kid Machine collaborates with Flemming Dalum, together they concoct a hefty 80’s horror-esque electronic monster. Label head Il Bosco brings an addictive boogie disco track to life, expertly cutting insistent breaks. Starion goes deep with a nonstop dancefloor workout and some serious synth action whilst Ste Spandex covers Royalle Delite’s 80’s electro soul classic ‘Freak For You’, pitching up the original and adding extra bounce to the proceedings.

Moon B – Moon B [PPU043]

https://objectstore.true.nl/rushhourrecords:files/styles/cover_large/storage-api-public/covers/68/68038.jpg?itok=xKhg8QCb

Synth funk album by Atlanta Georgia artist Moon B released on Peoples Potential Unlimited. There’s a strong boogie presence across the 11 untitled tracks, but it doesn’t stop at your usual sleazy fare. There are also plaintive moments of refined introspection, and a constant display of production skills, albeit draped in the crust and charm of those archaic music-making means. If you’re a fan of the likes of Dam-Funk and can’t enough of that heady 80s funk flex, then this record should have you bumping and grinding for months to come.

Pjotr – Udacha 4 [UDACHA004]

https://i0.wp.com/images.junostatic.com/300/CS470178-01A-MED.jpg

The mysterious Pjotr on Udacha. “Sky Is The Limit” opens proceedings with its bubbling, sun-drenched mid-tempo lounge tones given definition with a subtly urgent arpeggio, while “Mariya” picks up the pace with its gently jacking snares, plucked guitar and organic bass. On the flip, “True Spirit” wraps silky chords around unpredictable MPC style drums, while “I See” buries its raw drums deep within a muggy low end filter, allowing a blissful melodic arrangement.

Two veterans deliver 2 great modern house tracks that slowly build and keep the tension high. The a-side has a bit of the Seuno Latino/E2-E4 feel to it.. which is always a good thing.

ASC – Electron / Proton [RED011]

ASC steps outside of his experimental D&B sound profile delivers two slabs of moody techno for Pushing Red. The opener “Proton ” is a driving number with some crunchy sub bass work underpinning some floaty synth work, while “Electron” an undulating, hypnotic tech-house cut, takes the foot off the gas slightly.
