‘Nuclear Rawmance’ is soundwise very different from Savas’ Pascalidis previous albums, so it can clearly be seen as his first Longplayer in a new sea of sounds. Over 12 masterfully produced cuts, all created in his studio using a veritable bank of hardware, Savas pours out his musical heart. From tough, old school edged house, to raw, jacking techno, dub atmospheres and smokey warehouse epics.
New Mathematics Recordings release featuring four tracks of refreshing house from this new artist from the UK. Elements of early classic house & Detroit tech roam throughout, while still maintaining a unique style.
Hudd Traxx have a great release dropping for it’s 5th birthday …. 4 cutz giving a solid nod to the old skool with warm deep house feelings. Nod To The Old Skool is a classic in the making deep rolling bass .. making a great late night burner.
This 12″ is a preview to the cd album”The Space Voodoo”, which contains completely different tracks than the vinyl release Math 033. Here’s 4 tracks in true amazing Marcello fashion – deep, unpredictable, and bangin!
Volume 6 represents the label’s harmony, balance, sincerity, love, & truth. This is conveyed with this release’s composers who come from all sides of the electronic music spectrum – avant garde, nu disco, house, & industrial. 4 tunes of honest Mathematics music!
Official re-release of the 1997 Off Shoot Records Evacuation (Marathon EP) & 1995 Solid Groove Shimmer (Presents EP) done by Aubrey. Skudge, who caused quite a stir with the first two 12’s on his own label, revisited Evacuation for a new update!
430 West Records embarks on an epic journey revisiting classic tracks from it’s 20 year history with 2010 reworkings. First in the series are remixes of Octave One’s seminal techno track “Meridian” and their absolute floor killer ”Dema”.
Deep and minimized acid techno rubs from a consortium of Giorgio Gigli, Obtane and nAX_Acid. ‘The Child That Was Watching The Moon’ perhaps warrants the acid tag more with its detuned and grumbling low end modulations occurring under streamlined layers of modern classical techno drums. ‘The Moon That Was Watching The Child’ on the flip serves a groovier function with a tech-house swing anchored by a fat bass yet still keeping focussed on pristine synths.
Komisch is honoured to release the debut EP by SP-X. Combining lean, snappy percussion with evil bass sounds, SP-X also brings slamming, skipping beats and insane filtering to each track.The ominous chords of ‘SP-14’ is the track that has received the most DJ support, but both ‘SP-17’ and ‘SP-10’ are functional but distinctive club tracks whose panning riffs and hissing percussion will destroy any club.
Stripped down basement techno tracks on the Giegling sub label Staub. Two tracks with a touch of that post basic channel sound with a gentle steady groove.
Not much really needs to be said about a new release on Mahogani Music, especially since it involves contributions from some of Detroit’s greats, including Kenny Dixon Jr, Anthony Shakir, Carl Craig, and last but not least, the main man Sherard Ingram aka DJ Stingray. It’s a single LP which contains twelve tracks – a couple of shorter skits, but most pretty much full tracks. Now maybe time to state the obvious… this won’t hang around long!
Sistrum announces the return of Ireland’s Leonid, who offers a proper follow up to his highly regarded debut Sistrum EP, Sadim (SIS-009). The J3 EP pushes further down into the depths and brings forth timeless vibes for those who seek to shed the excess and get to the heart of the matter. And this matter is the groove – the kind of simple, effective groove that you can get lost in, the kind of groove that you can listen to forever and it just seems to get better the longer you listen to it.
Two tracks of pure deepness and emotions have been delivered by Marco Gegenheimer, from Barcelona, on Ratio?music. ’21:4 (The IPS Prayer)’ is all about losing that one love and is a sentimental piece of house music, while ‘Mystical Crossings’ on the flip is all about the mystical and divine aspects of life.
Verdantin is an epic 13 minutes long burner. Moody synths, haunting vocals, and a sub-sonic kick drive the slowly evolving structure forward. However… b-side track Siebzehn is at least as good with its lush dubby chords and its echo-ing vocals layer over a classic house groove.
Surprising dark & druggy deephouse/dubstep crossover from the german deep house producer, Kassem Mosse.
After exploring technoid territories with in the last years Ame are back with a full-on deep house EP. It is very much infiltrated with a Marcel Duchampesque way of approaching artistic objects: ready-made, self-referencing and perpetuating. So musically, Perpetuum Mobile (ital. Moto Perpetuaby Niccolò Paganini) elements push forward into mesmerizing loops. There future is nearer than in most of contemporary deephouse releases.
‘Black Keith’ definitely has that drive and swing and groove we love so much. ‘Close To Me’ is a little deeper and more classy (Detroit), yet still grooves like a motherlicker.
Number 2 in the Strength Music Semester series. More quality Deep House from Jus-Ed, Fred P & DJ QU. Some really nice production that is crisp n tight. Lots of melodic bits to take you away and punchy beats too.
Rush Hour presents a new series of releases entitled ‘Voyage Direct’. This series is about all about feel good club music and is curated by Tom Trago. Hence the name Voyage Direct, which was also the title of his debut double EP. Dexter kicks off this series in a classy style with his Junofest EP.
