Altered Moods Recordings’ 27th release features a barnstormer of a track by John Heckle. Its big,fat, analog bassline combined with take-charge leads and rising melodies is a floor-filler. “Emerald 66” is six minutes of dancing bliss with its in-your-face snares, claps, and tambourines. Malcolm Moore works the flip side with “Way Of The City”, an affair that starts out muted but quickly expands into a drum-filled frenzy. A break in the action gives dancers a moment to catch their breath before the acid onslaught continues in earnest in the second half.
Innershades delivers 6 cuts that are divided in 2 parts: the Twilight side & the Ghetto side. Influenced by the Chicago godfathers and the Dance Mania style. First side, Twilight Side, contained “Dexter (’87 mix)”, “Lust” & “Work that” heavily influenced by the Chicago godfathers. 2nd side, Ghetto side, comes up with “Circuit”, “Walk the walk” & “Feel” heavily influenced by the dance mania style.

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.
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.
