And what better place to experience it than Buenos Aires, a city where things happen that reflect this feeling at every moment. Through sound, I manage to express how my loved ones, my experiences, and this urban madness influence me.”

Traxx Presents The Definitive Articles of House Music Chapter 7
“The 7th chapter from the definitive days of house music as the previous 6 chapters is education that a lot of alleged “House” DJs and Producers are obviously lacking.
from vintage, out of print and promo labels: trax records, jes-say, ministry of sound, sound signature, dirtyblends, lies, playhouse, relief and ratlife.
and a unpublished joint from the chicago dungeon vault building blocks of the early dance music scene with selections of today and yesterday incorporating musical blueprints of Chicago, New York and Detroit’s timeless heroes we admire, honor and inspired by their education.
we hope this will give people the chance to listen to music many may have never heard on this side of sound that provides a provocative and thoughtful musical workout in your mind with vinyl turntables, a vintage mix console with an effects box and cd players.”
Yuri Suzuki – Bless This Acid House LP [ABLTD005]
Yuri Suzuki, the sound artist and designer known for creating works that explore the realms of sound through exquisitely designed pieces, has become completely captivated by that silver box. Toting that infamous box and relentlessly diving deep into the swamp of Acid House, he drops a new album after nearly six years in LP format.
On this record, Suzuki’s finely honed squelchy old-school 303 sound, tightly mastered by the sound alchemist Rashad Becker, unfolds with precision and points toward another possible tomorrow. Each track is a sketch, carrying you through a timeless landscape of rhythm and texture and reaffirming Suzuki’s unique command over sound and space.
Raw Takes – House Of Phreaks EP [NICE006]
All Nice Records returns with the 006 instalment, welcoming Raw Takes to the roster for a self-titled six-tracker that lives up to its name. No frills, no fuss, just pure, unfiltered club music pressed on wax. Side A kicks off with House of Phreaks, a dense Chicago house sledgehammer built around a heavyweight bassline that sets the pace from the first bar, no introduction needed. Last Figure pulls the tension tighter before One For Gehm closes the first side as a heartfelt nod to Andreas Gehm – the legendary German acid pioneer whose influence continues to ripple through the underground. Flip it over and Piano Jam brings an unexpected melodic warmth to the centre of the record, while AECD wears its influences proudly, a 303-drenched acid workout rooted deep in the classic Chicago house tradition, the kind of track that feels like it could have come straight out of the Warehouse era. Crime Times seals the deal… gritty, atmospheric, and built for the late hours.
Serasso – Non Stop [RYDM212]
Non Stop Rhythm with a new release by Serasso.

Mark Grusane – Angry Birds [LIES226]
A Chicago legend who paved way in the underground with his Mr. Peabody record shop, the one and only, Mr. Mark Grusane steps up to L.I.E.S. with “Angry Birds”. On this six tracker Grusane locks in and demonstrates an important facet of the Chicago sound that is often overlooked with a nod to the infamous “Reactor” sound pioneered by DJ RUSH. A rare style mostly shunned by jocks (and producers) on the modern floor, this record is full of straight up circle pit machine programmed madness, chaos of the highest order…This is for the ones who know, the ones who have been obsessed, and the ones who need to know…this record sets it all off. Full on referee whistle chippin, neck snappers for those who dare to step into the real jackin zone. Hi octane, full swerve, blowing through red lights all nite long.
Tom Carruthers – Deepline [LAX-SE10]
UK producer Tom Carruthers delivers another masterclass for Skylax, diving deeper into the DNA of house music with ‘Deepline’, a 5-track journey that connects the raw futurism of the late ’80s to the deep innovations of the early ’90s. Known for his MPC-driven grooves, Carruthers has become a true guardian of machine funk — always stripped down, always pure.
