N & N Tracks – Farewell To The South [BOOMCHICK001]

hipodrome, , , , , Leave a comment

The first offering on Boom Chik comes from N & N Tracks. Produced by Neville Watson and Nigel Rogers (aka Perseus Traxx) in an impromptu recording session lasting just one afternoon, the love of classic sounding Chicago tones and feelings are immediately present. The sound is that of effect drenched raw machinery, hammering out beats and synth parts intended to transport you on the dance floor, all beaten out of the machines live to tape with Neville and Nigel just performing the occasional edit here and there.

The mysterious Donnie Tempo has been producing house music for over twenty years. His first release as Donnie Tempo was back in 2001 on Larry Heard’s Alleviated Records, demonstrating his old school acid inspired productions. Donnie Tempo unleashes the ”Systems On EP” due for release in September on MAMSW. The EP drops two previously unreleased tracks recorded between 1989-91 and one new production ”TCB”, that shows that the original Chicago house sound still runs deep. Finally, Donnie has found a new home to release the uncharted authentic house jamz that he’s created.

Acidliner – Funkhouse [GANGSIGNS002]

hipodrome, , , Leave a comment

The second release on Gangsigns comes in the shape of Acidliner’s ‘Funkhouse’. Funkhouse quite simply rolls. A pure acid house burner. It’s not house, it’s not techno, it’s not bass – it’s a roller. It combines all these styles with ease. No glitz or glamour – just pure electronic funk. Simply devastating. White Science on the flip dips the 303 into a more aquatic electro affair. Hats sizzle, claps jump in and out while the acid line weaves it’s way round some serious 808 action. It’s a mover for sure and a perfect partner to the all out groove of the a side.

New misterious label from Berlin called Stallion. The first EP contains 4 tracks on the vinyl with an additional 2 locked grooves. Comprising of tough basslines, furious percussion, piercing stabs, industrial overtones and drifting melodies. Raw, stripped down techno tracks distrilled to their simplest and most effective form.

KILLEKILL 009 comes from Alex Cortex with some vintage material recorded in the years 1996-2000, raw and substantial. With Future Acid the A-Side features a bomb acid track recorded live at the legendary HD800 club in Mannheim, which displays the raw power of Alex’ live sets. The B-Side features R-BYTE, a minimalistic Chicago-style stomper and MEM, a hood-like abstract and minimalistic techno piece.

Perseus Traxx / Aroy Dee – Hope EP [PF001]

hipodrome, , , , Leave a comment

First appearance of this small-scale vinyl imprint from the east of Holland with a split-release by the well-respected Aroy Dee and Perseus Traxx. Both of them are known for their deep analogue house music productions with raw and sharp edges, but most recognizable in their work is the presence of true emotions. This will also be the distinctive element for the labels future output: emotive electronic music with the soul deep within. Honest and unpolished music that is inspired by everyday life, whether it comes from pain or joy. Perseus Traxx kicks off with an immersive, slow building and uplifting track, followed by a moody but hypnotic and slightly acid inspired piece. Aroy Dee takes care of the flip-side, with a dreamy and atmospheric track, and one raw, surprising and energetic cut.

The Abstract Acid series continues its exploration into the depths of acid with a relentless 303 assault from UK-based machine operator, Mantra – four rugged tracks of distorted, crackling beats and low slung bass lines that are just crying out to be ripped through the speakers of a dark, filthy warehouse.
