DJ Sotofett – Acido Records Presents DJ Sotofett [ACIDO009]
Selected by Acido Records’ Dynamo Dreesen, five tracks feat. the talents of Bjørn Torske, Sensational and Tim ”Love” Lee all remixed and prod. by DJ Sotofett. In the times of cheap loops this 12” purifyes the old school dee-jay attitude with the coherent limitations of record jugling, remixing, archive digging and intuitive live studio recordings.
Andy Vaz – Straight Vacationing [YRE028LP]
Andy Vaz’s Straight Vacationing, his first full-length artist album since 2006, registers as less a straight-up collection of dance-floor burners and more of a variety pack that mixes club tracks and full-fledged house songs. Listeners hungry for just ordinary 4/4 throw-downs will not entirely get their share of those, but they’ll also get a whole lot more on this dynamic and well-rounded set of eight album tracks and that is exploring House Music not just as a simple one way street, but give you a very personal view of the music we call House. Straight Vacationing dives into the genre in all it’s rich variety: From deep melodic, early Chicago influenced Acid House, Jacking-Jedi Mind Tricks to Disco-type grooves and last but not least excursions into Bizzaro World, with a vaz typical almost psychedelic experimental-edged Sound, it’s all there.

Omar-S presents his new album “It Can Be Done, But Only I Can Do It”, on his own FXHE label.

Omar-S – High School Graffiti [ScionA/V] FREE DOWNLOAD
Scion A/V presents a free ep from Omar S. He continues his streak of dark, mind-expanding, form-busting dance floor voodoo. Each song is a city within a city, as gritty and spirited as his beloved 313.
Mondo – Work Me Baby [DRH035]
Deeply Rooted House presents a nice piece of wax with 2 great tracks produced around 1994-1997 (recently discovered on DAT tapes), and 2 solid 2011 remixes. Rootstrax comes with an excellent mix that is an emotional deep take that really captures the emotion of the original and brings it to a much more mature and deep territory. The Marcelus mix gives us a much more radical, uncompromising Techno interepretation.
Disco Nihilist – Running (Far Away) [RBDN001]
Disco Nihilist with tracks between Chicago’s Jack urgency, Detroit’s funky machine soul and the raw magic of vintage drum machines. His style is natural, murky, filthy and raw to the core. The six track EP ”Running (Far Away)” for Running Back is an exercise in grinding beats, squelching acid lines, graceful pianos and heartfelt rhythms without any paralyzing retro romance.
Bicep – EP2 [TOB014]
Featuring a deeper take on the analog house sound, “EP2” on Throne of Blood, represents a step forward for Bicep. Midwest rave veteran and analog synth maestro Mark Verbos turns in a tough and stripped back remix.
Photonz – Principio da Incerteza 84
VA – Dust Is Dancing [MS005]
Goldwill – When We [7THJOURNEY]
Next adventure of our beloved Goldwill boys on Mojuba sublabel Wandering. With their new record they teamed up with some vocal support by Lazarusman from Southafrica and deliver a conceptual work called “When We” where one mesmerizing main theme is taking three different approaches to stimulate all your musical senses.
Jacques Greene – Lay It Down [UNO002]
UNO’s second release comes from Montreal’s Jacques Greene. Two tracks that reveal a darker, acid housed side of the lauded producer.
Phuture / Jackmaster Hater – Acid Trax [KR005]
Rough and ready, previously unreleased takes on Phuture’s blueprint-setting ‘Acid Trax’. Frontside is a 4:45min version by Phuture with slightly altered drum pattern harnessed to that virulent 303 sequence. Flipside Jackmaster Hater comes like a oil-spattered Chi-town mechanic, retuning the engine of battered but classic motor.
Betek – U Funking Confuse Me [BALANS002 ]
Up next on Balans is a Brazilian old school house & techno talent extraordinaire, Betek. Hailing from beautiful Rio De Janeiro, you might not expect an artist who is dedicated to old school Roland drumcomputers and bassline machines. Betek clearly has a big love for the the EDM past, but takes it well into the new millennium with a fresh angle.
Jared Wilson – Let Your Body, Make Your Body [DOLLY006]
Weird yet very funky & playable Chicago inspired house/acid tracks by Detroit’s Jared Wilson. Jacking rhythms, nasty 303 basslines and whispering voices creating this nice old-fashioned sexual energy. Conforce on remix duties delivers a deep & moody techy house rework.
