Harkin & Raney – Shakes On [TOB015]
New York’s dream team, Eamon Harkin and Steve “OneAuff” Raney, return with a three tracker of floor-friendly deep house and techno. “Workin and Steamin” sets the vibe right, combining haunting vocals with a chugging deep house groove. Building onwards, “Shakes On” is a melodic and moody bit of NYC house that proves once and for all why these two are destined for classic status. Rounding things out is a dark and driving dancefloor reinterpretation of “Shakes On” by Glasgow’s Naum Gabo (JG Wilkes of Optimo fame and James Savage). Their version is faithful to the original, yet it twists the vibe into a moody, motorik techno groove sure to fill the dancefloor.

Flip over for the Theo-esque rhythms of “Kvanefjeld” and perhaps the most breathtaking of the lot – the intensely relaxing, beatless soundscape of “Hoidas Lake”.

Move D – Workshop 13 [WORKSHOP013]
New release from Move D on Workshop. The A-side is a insinctively jazzy number he specialises in, working in a distinct Afro-rhythmic lilt with bobbling marimba-like patterns around sensually tingling strings and light-headed guitar licks. B-side finds a more muscular House groove powered by chunky Toms and seductive chords corralled with an unmistakable expertise, and tips out to a down-slow Boogie soul joint in his deeply charming style.

Tang – Bass Synergy [EMP010]
New release by Steven Tang on his label, Emphasis Recordings. Its been almost 2 years since the last Emphasis release, so its about time for a new one! The title track continues in that Chicago/Detroit vibe that we all come to know from Tang. It starts off with a bass heavy, industrial styled, drum programming before a pulsating bass comes riding along a funky melody. Just when you think you got the beef of the track, things break down to rumbling arppegiated bass roll. Them boom! Both basslines and percussion come back in for the finish! Did we mention there’s strings? Backing the main track on the flip, we have Drone and Synchronism. Originally given away as a free digital download, ”Drone” kicks off the b-side with it’s minimal, low end drums drowned in a delay effect and arppregiated bassline, subtly filtered through out this floor stomper. Rounding out the single is Synchronism, with it’s dark pad sound coupled with another arppregiated bassline and strings; very early 90’s Detroit techno vibe.
