Marcus Mixx – Rub It Don’t Go So Fast [UTTU054]
Chicago’s Marcus Mixx return to Unknown to the Unknown. The salaciously named Rub It Don’t Go Fast is a welcome return, and the producer’s unhinged urges remain wonderfully undimmed as the title track attests. It’s dark acid house with redlining bass, a monstrous kick drum and a clear sense of perverse humour. “Rub it in French…” On the flip, Mixx lays down two swerving takes on breakbeat house flex out “Do U Luv 2 Dance”.
Muzikalist – Northwest Area [FLR014]
Eugene Efimenko aka Muzikalist, is a DJ, musician and promoter based in Kaliningrad. Here he makes his debut on Flight Recorder label with four deep acidic Chicago tracks.
Fingers Inc. – Another Side [ML9001LP]
Some 17 years after it’s original release, Fingers Inc’s expansive debut album, Another Side, remains one of the greatest deep house full-lengths of all time. Here, the album gets the re-master and re-issue treatment, with the original double vinyl set being expanded to a triple to guarantee loud cuts for club play. While there are plenty of well-known Heard and co classics present – “Mysteries of Love”, “Bring Down The Walls”, “Can You Feel It” etc. – it’s actually the long-forgotten album tracks that really hit the spot. It’s on these moments – often influenced as much by ’80s soul and synth-pop as acid and Chicago jack-tracks – that Larry Heard, Robert Owens and Ron Wilson really cut loose.

I-Robots / Virgo Four – Dirty Talk [OPCM12075.1]
The Opilec Music label has once again cooked up a very special new project for its next EP: ‘Dirty Talk’ is a remake of the classic ’80s Italo disco, proto-house tune by Klein & M.B.O. and has been produced by label boss I-Robots. The release comes with a Club Version made by I-Robots together with the Piatto Brothers, Alessandro & Davide, who bring a truly authentic Italo sound to the project and the cult disco soul singer, Donna McGhee. The Virgo Four original version is a more modern sounding, deeper and stripped back house cut with driving rubbery drums and bouncy melodies.
