John Daly is delivering one killer Chicago influenced house tracks after another. Obviously getting inspiration from his favorite Larry Heard and Marshall Jefferson songs, turning that into those long smooth John Daly tracks with soulful basslines, lush melodies, intense strings and euphoric breakdowns that take things to another level. Not tracks for every moment on every dancefloor, but tools for the real house connaisseurs who understand special records for special moments and who treasure them like the crown jewels!

Detroit artist Jason Fine, the master of the introspective and personal techno sound gives us another killer release, once again transforming daily life experience into beautiful and moving deep techno and house. Jason Fine continues to play around with layered melodies and harmony mixed with raw and funky drum programming. The EP opens with the track Orange, a beautiful monotone organ based techno track, revealing hard times. Violet continues in the same vein. Blue melodies play around over minor organ chords and heavy kick drum. On the inner tracks Blue and Red Jason with confidence moves into the electro territory, still keeping emotion and atmosphere up front. Even though the concept behind this EP is the full color spectrum, the mood is all over blue.

August it’s hot, Chicago is hotter, so we give you a hot chicago-house mix. Dragos Rusu delivered us a rough acid house podcast to jack your bodies in the long hot summer nights. Dragos is living in Bucharest and he is an editor for an electronic music magazine / promoter / booking agent / manager / dj you name it, if it’s related to electronic music he’d been there. Dragos is one of the founders of beatfactor.ro more than 8 years ago, a web site that became one of the most important Romanian online electronic music magazines. Dragos is djing for some years now and he is a dj without inhibitions, known for playing mostly in underground, infamous, hedonistic parties and afterhours.

Belgian producer Ozka shows his love for basic mental grooves with clear Detroit and UK techno influences. On remix duty we find Belgium’s Peter Van Hoesen who turns Hidden Roots in a hypnotic warehouse monster dominated by throbbing bassdrums and filtered out chord stabs very much in the vein of his new album.

Franco Cangelli’s Mowar imprint turns out four tracks of prime techno from Belgium’s Ozka, backed with a pumping Peter Van Hoesen remix. The title track shows his years of experience producing for labels such as Dave Angel’s Rotation, smearing smudged dub chords over churning bass groove and strafing percussive syncopations. ‘Intel Dub’ nods to dubstep in a swung style layered with hypnotic chords, kinda like a more melodic Detroit version of Regis’ recent Sandwell tracks. The PvH remix is up to his usual standards, built from the bulbous bass up with crisp claps and shuffling hi-hats for the stick ‘n pivot effect while filtered chords and icy synths infect the atmosphere. Very tidy.

There’s a feeling of spacious freedom and sensuality written all over these, from the kinky hardcore tropes of the title track and its quicksilver scuff ‘n skip, right through the dubbed shuffle and empty warehouse reverbs of ‘Because You’ on the A-side. ‘My Friends Will Always Say…’ on the flip consolidates the best of both his worlds, designed with an advanced sense of jazzy electronic arrangement, yet keeping everything sparse and still poppy enough to really capture the crowd’s affections.

Pioneer of bass music in France for almost 10 years now, his productions have always ignored borders and have been recognized for their melodic quality and musicality. Notably supported by Mala Digital Mystikz on his Dubstep productions, this true underground artist is constantly innovating in the studio. Blending House and Garage flavours to massive basslines and Dub skanks, delays and echoes, Boxin and Boston are unique tracks, and as usual with Likhan’, impossible to label.

Cosmin TRG drops the bpm but stands tall for his first outing on Hemlock. Eschewing any notion of ‘feminine pressure’ in favor of a new stripped-back, brutalist sound.

The four melodic, synth-laden tracks are typically raw and grimey but also run deeper with a newfound luminescence. Constructed from a robotic new sound palette,Lil Silva’s tuff flange-funk drum programming and twisted carnival rhythms are permeated by razor-sharp neon synths, jacking cowbells, massive slabs of sub bass and even Silva’s own sampled vocals. These are industrial-size riddims for worldwide dancefloor demolition!

Lunar Disko present their 6th release, a fine five tracker from young Irish producer Automatic Tasty. ‘I’ve missed the last bus home’ delivers a cracking electro acid jam, peppered with punchy Alden Tyrell style edits and elegant synthwork. On a slower electro jacking tip ‘I Can See You House From Here’ works out crisp 707 patterns with a nod to Drexciya. The most affecting track here must be the final cut of 606 & 101 interplay ‘Autonomous System’, undoubtedly owing to Japanese Telecom releases, but executed with a heartfelt melancholy requiring the attention of any electro fiends. The release comes with a free CD with 3 extra tracks from Automatic Tasty when you buy the record from Lunar Disko.

Clone Records continues the Jack For Daze series with an absolutely jacker from Murphy Jax featuring Mike Dunn vocals. The release comes with remixes from Legowelt and Alden Tyrell.

Two new artist deliver the next Underground Quality release. Basic stripped down tracks that slowly build and build with intens strings on the a-side a deeper detroit-esque tracks and then a more traditional house cut on the flip.
