VA – You Can Trust A Man With A Moustache Vol. 6 [MST054]

Some 17 years after the first missive landed in record stores, Moustache Records popular multi-artist EP series, ‘You Can Trust a Man With a Moustache’, returns for its sixth instalment. Doctr gets us going with the spiralling Hi-NRG-meets-acid thrills of ‘Our Minds Belong Together’, before Theo Scuera joins the dots between rave-igniting early 90s house and the more muscular, sweat-soaked end of mid 90s progressive house on the colossal ‘Your Virus’. David Vunk and Ben La Desh join forces on B-side opener ‘Unrealized Prophet’, a veritable whirlwind of muscular techno drums, buzzing riffs and broken modem electronics, while Patricio Diaz’s ‘Welcome To My Hell’ is a bouncy and mind-mangling slab of peak-time acid nostalgia tailor-made for dark basements and flagging dancefloors. This release is a tribute to Bob the Landlord, who became known in Rotterdam after appearing in a documentary about the harbor cafe Willems Kantine.

6th Borough Project – Borough 2 Borough Remixes [DOG037]

Cuthead serving up his trademark scratchy, swinging MPC beats with clattering percussion and stabbing chords on his excellent remix of Back 2 Black. Perfect, leftfield house music with depth and flair and a perfect example of why the Uncanny Valley regular is picking up so much praise right now. Next up Fantastic Man gets to grips with Read My Mind, bringing a lovely bit of proto-house flavour to the release. Chiming DX7 synths and lush pads are the order of the day here, creating a lovely warm up vibe before going heads down and dubby for the final 3 minutes. Flipping over were treated to some lush, slo-mo-lo-slung vibes on the Ben La Desh remix of Walk Away, the Dutch producer teasing things out with a chugging 7 minute workout which will sound dreamy and creamy on a big system.

David Vunk & Ben La Desh – Turner / Deep Valley [MST021]

TURNER / DEEP VALLEY

The new release on Moustache Recordings label is a collaboration between label owner David Vunk and fellow Rotterdam rogue, Ben La Desh who between them have combined to produce two tracks full of spaced out house, techno, electronic and disco feelings. First up, Turner drops a rich color palette of vibrant space disco prize strings. The creeping crescendo of synth-led brushstrokes paint a rich impressionistic glow interpersed with positive vocal samples drifting through like dutch boats in a gale. Next up Deep Valley takes off over the snow-capped mountain tops and towards the flowing river of deep techno drums. Eerie soaring strings and isolated vocal snaps conjure up images of cavernous depths of deep sea and space as we go deeper into the valley of the dolls. With releases coming on strong over the past few years La Desh continues his ascent into production adulthood on the 21st release on Moustache Recordings while Vunk’s typical high-class production values shine through this entire release. Further collaborations between this duo would be only gezellig.
