The Power Plant Experience – The Power Plant EP [MATH073]
Mathematics Recordings presents a new classic deep house collaboration between former founding member of Virgo Four Merwyn Sanders and Italy’s prolific Simoncino. Emotive sounds of organic roots for the basement and bare bones sound systems. The 12″ also includes a remix from Kai Alce.
Boo Williams – Living Waters [GMNV004]
Willie Griffin’s Boo Williams alias returns to Goldmin Music for the label’s most recent release. The Living Waters EP sees the Chicago native at his very best, as he combines his customary, old-school, rough-and-ready approach with a newfound approach.
Giorgio Luceri – Liger EP [SAFT006]
Gear appreciating Italian ”Giorgio Luceri” enters the SAFT dome with the machine driven ”Liger EP”. On the opening track ”Liger” Giorgio cleverly paints an elusive ambiance using jumbled drums and an appealing bassline together with a continual synthline that nicely sits on top of the serene pads that give rise to an intense atmosphere. The B1 side opens with similar soothing pads that gradually change when the immense bassline and full bodied kick drum come in. Giorgio again creates a somewhat adverse vibe which helps to give it a hint of lushness. For the B2, Chicago legend ‘Gene Hunt’ contributes with a massive percy remix for ”Liger”. A lot of drum action is present in this club oriented (yet deep) roller.

John Heckle – Baiyun Mountain EP [MOS020]
The Baiyun Mountain EP is John Heckle’s debut appearance on MOS Recordings. Brit Heckle has more than established himself as a lone sonic explorer thanks to LPs and EPs on labels like Chicago’s Mathematics and Holland’s Creme Organization. Across three more tracks here, he lays out his dense and textured vision of house music once more. Opener ‘Cactus Jack’ is a writhing thing with coarse snares, wild acid gurgles and plenty of paranoid synth lines. ‘Birds With Vertigo’ is another gauzy affair where every bit of sound is filled with fuzz, analogue rawness or splintered percussion. It’s intense and intriguing at the same time before final and title track ‘Baiyun Mountain’ goes a little deeper, with springy metallic synths, ticking percussion and a supple bassline all wrapping around each other into a controlled cacophony of sound.
Jann – The Ghetto Slang [LOD001]
“The Ghetto Slang” is the Land Of Dance Records’ first EP. Produced by Jann, French guy from Bordeaux, first release in his career. He tried to transcribe what Chicago and acid house mean for him. He’s used analog drum machines, effects and synthesizers like Miami, Juno 106 and Xoxbox. Collaborating with another french producer called Theorama, he decided to produce a powerful acid techno track, perfect for the dancefloor, that track, named “Die Tomorrow”, was chosen by Ricardo Miranda to be remixed. The Chicago house veteran realized his remix adding a touch of class and deep feelings to the song, a real pearl of the EP.
Arttu – UFO Funkin’ / Passing Out Privileges [ROYAL020]
Arttu is back with two tight tracks in his trademark raw jacking house sound. Chicago rooted house music drenched in a heavy dose of interstellar boogie. A-side is the shuffling bassline driven UFO-funkin’ that goes all crazy. AA side is Arttu featuring Detroit’s Jerry The Cat. Both tracks comes in vocal and instrumental version. Instrumentals take things back to the bare essential and are total basement workouts.
