Two track EP from unknown source by and The Artists Formerly Known As 19.454.18.5.25.5.18! Fond Of Rae is a crazy monotone techno track as we havent heard before. So freaking hypnotic that you think you hear sounds and changes which are not there… or maybe they actually are!? Relentless and banging with no mercy! Skudge turns it into Speed Bomb and gets it functioning for most techno floors with their effective and classy remix style.
Pariter, the deep techno sublabel of Sushitech Records, presents the new release by Makam. The EP features two deep and trippy cuts.
On The Prowl appears to be on a roll with it’s new found artists. The A1 track “More Heart” is big, catchy, and totally feel good house vibes with disco styled horn flourishes. The A side inside cut “Basement 6D22” takes us near Kerri Chandler with delayed brassy chord stabbing and long organ pads. Flipping the record over reveals a stunning slo mo disco house workout, filled with jam style organ riffs and amazing synth horn parts. For B2 we get a Perscription style deep house track with all the right dark drifting chords.
Marin Iliuta presents his second cut under the moniker of “Ultimate Man”. This project will be focused purely house 80’s & 90’s sound with little touches of NYC, Chicago & Detroit flavors.
A New Phil release coming from Ron Deacon. Phil 3 sounds like Carl Craig during his Landcruising album period jammin with Jean Michel Jarre, while someone is playing some jazzy keys in the corner of the studio.
New label by Jus-Ed and Jenifa Mayanja. Their first records as couple. Jen’s track is a real stunner here with deep intens strings and hypnotic beats. Ed is doing a track that reminds of a rave track with a hit that sounds like an early UR cut on top of a basic drum machine pattern and crazy vocal samples. Slowly building and not taking the pressure off.
Two producers on duty for Gerd’s Palm Leaves remixes. Sometimes an amazing track like Palm Leaves just screams for a rework by someone who really could do something nice with it. And this seems to be the perfect remix duo… Larry Heard aka Mr Fingers and Deetron. One for the body and one for the soul!
Remixes for Leonid, by Dutch duo Duijn & Douglas, Kris Wadsworth and Miles Sagnia. True deep house gems with funky basslines, straightforward beats and a sweet deep Detroit techy vibes.
Martyn takes a step back to reflect in his new release Ghost People out on Brainfeeder. The LP gives off a jigsaw effect, pulling apart genres of music while delicately piecing together a mass of influences from all over the musical spectrum. The album itself is a masterpiece; ram packed with deep nostalgic notes while being filled to the brim with crunching dance floor bangers!

The fourth release on the Russian label Rawax. Four well crafted and arranged melodic tracks that are moving away from the prime time dance floors and look for a bit more challenge.
Mysterious newcomer Jamie Blanco displays a clear skill in assembling the kind of raw, atmospheric late 80’s Chicago House so close to our hearts. The kind of late night jams which can just as easily roll in and out of string drenched Disco cuts as they can moments of strobe-lit intensity.
Adalberto is back on the way to school to perform his homework on the box called 909 …nothing more – nothing less than raw deep-, acid- and ghetto-houze can be expected…
‘Brightside of House’ represents the debut release for the french band Glass Figure, Christoph Le Gall and Julien Mercier. They make dance music with the old age, iconic and of course comforting, tag of Acid House. The music that sound-tracked the 2nd summer of Love and for most Europeans, the soundtrack to arguably the last great cultural movement of the 20th Century. Crafting their music on “synthesizers Alpha Juno, TB-303, SH-101, TR-707, TR-909, TR-626, TR-808” plays a large part in the authenticity.
New EP from Frank Music from Monosoul, with two versions of the track called “Ignorethe traffic lights”.
The debut release for Helsinki-based label HPTY, ‘DoRight! EP’ by Trevor Deep Jr, displays the versatility and vision towards different genres within contemporary rhythm music. Somewhere between Detroit deepness, classic Chicago house and moody soundscapes of Helsinki, Trevor Deep Jr comes across with true love for analog synthesis.
The second release from Foul & Sunk. This is a re-release of one of the best and important Fresh & Low release, undoubtedly the ground-breaking “Little i EP”, released on Westside Records in 1997. Four essential tracks of timeless house music make this masterpiece still sound as good and fresh as it sounded almost 15 years ago.
