Little Fritter presents a new EP on Affin. “Raw Fix” welcomes 2012 with his unique mixture of pumping house beats and a little dirt between. A “walking” bass, uplifting chords and the driving shaker lines defining “Raw Fix”, the opener track. Moerover, you’ll be surprised by the merging vocal snippets added to this mover. The Romania based producer team Egal 3 turn the Original into a jazzy and weird tune with a feeling of an almost hand-played bassline. The hammering “Raw Tip” is just a hi-energy tool that will fill the floors with smiling faces and happyness all over.

Hotflush presents the debut 12″ from Belgian newcomer Locked Groove aka Tim Van de Meutter. The young producer delivers three hypnotizing and genre bending tracks that expertly weave the sounds of Berghain, soulful house and UK garage into a single crushing package. The “Rooted” EP draws you in with the title track, bouncing along to an acid baseline, then moves onto “Drowning”, a moody techno track that was included on Scuba’s DJ-Kicks mix compilation, filled with drum and ambient samples taken from field recordings. Lastly, “Change”, a production that smartly melds classic house grooves with industrial techno, demonstrates Locked Groove’s rhythmic finesse and long-term promise as an artist.

SPAVENTI, Ma/AROY DEE - Wrecking

To celebrate his MOS Deep sub label reaching its tenth release, boss man Aroy Dee has teamed up in the studio with Doctor Spaventi for the label’s next release. Marco Spaventi’s “Wrecking” is a blisteringly raw house construction with ripping synth lines, delicate hi-hats and slow, crawling kick drums building up to an incendiary, Chicago referencing peak where pinging cow bells shooting in all directions. On the flip, Aroy builds in layers. His “Mr Floyd” is all muted synth growls, clattering percussion and blissful pads. It’s a tortured deep house track that challenges you before really soothing you, but once the inner beauty is revealed; it really has you under an enchanting spell.

Achterbahn D’Amour is courtesy of Edit Piafra & Iron Curtis. ‘JX2’ is a slammer, guided by lush pads and some quirky acidish bassline that cuts from your left brain to your right brain and then straight to the next dancefloor. ‘The middle of’ is a high standard dj tool with heart. Repetitive loops all over and no end in sight. ‘Into the wilde’ is a mix of pop music with a certain love for jackin house music, pitched down and pitched-up vocals, a live bass and drum machine workouts galore.

FRANCISCO - Disco Wizard (Limited Series Vol 1)

A shiny picture disco for Slow Motion Records release number 7 – Disco Wizard by Francisco from Jolly Music. Beamed from distant satellites via 1983 and picked up by a crack team of Berlin based Italian disco commandoes, the Disco Wizard brings to mind Space, the tougher end of pre-84 Italo, guys with beards and grace Jones and Amanda Leat dancing the night away. A nagging baseline propels the track forward with alternating male and female vocals that coo and tease’. On the flip side the dub mix strips away most of the vocals and injects some serious strut into the beats. The rougher, tougher cousin of the original to send the boys and girls wild with cosmic desire.

VARIOUS - Minimal Wave Tapes Volume Two

This is the second volume of The Minimal Wave Tapes series, a collection of rare electronic music compiled from bands around the world. Most of the songs were recorded in the 1980s and originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. Now they’ve been remastered from their analog source tapes, brought to you by Veronica Vasicka and Peanut Butter Wolf.

The Black Dog uncover a hidden corner of Sheffield’s DIY history with five tracks from Xerox Girls issued on their Dust Science imprint. The Xerox Girls formed in 1979 after witnessing other Steel City bands such as Cabaret Voltaire, They Must Be Russians and The Stunt Kites but to this day their tracks have been the preserve of obscure compilations and Sheffielders in the know. With an array of Acetone drum machines, Revox tape deck and suitably cheap synths they build strange and spiky tracks with one eye on the dancefloor and another wandering to more experimental sounds, ranging from the water-logged Coldwave of signature tune ‘Xerox Girls (We Are)’ to the tunnelling pulses of ‘Erase Me’ and trippier jaunts like ‘Level Five Car Park Dreams’ or the spitting circuitry of ‘Rammle’.
