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.
Myriadd – True Will EP [PNKMN003]
Nick Anthony Simoncino – Hot Tape 002
Simoncino – For My Father EP [CR1270]
Simoncino makes his debut on Creme Organization with five suitably esoteric house offerings. Two of the inclusions, Interval I and Interval II, are serene ambient pieces that showcase this Italians serious synth-scaping skills, whilst the other three are gorgeously romantic and nostalgic house tracks made for the more sensitive dancefloors out there. Tape 1 is the meanest, with a growling bassline and splashes of loose-limbed percussion, where Tape II is much more uplifting owing to the celestial patterns that twinkle above muggy and muddled Chicago drums. Tape III is downbeat and melancholic thanks to the subdued, rubbery bassline, but more golden pads light up the thing with plenty of very real, cautiously optimistic emotions. This is house music to take you to another world entirely, and it’s a fine place to be.
Rodney Bakerr – RH019 (The Lost Tracks) [RH019]
The lost Rockin’ House finally gets released officially. 4 proper acid tracks from the golden age of house music. Previously only a handful of whitelabels have been floating around.

Alden Tyrell – Some House / Wurk It [CJFD019]
Alden Tyrell is back with a new Clone Jack For Daze. A double A-side release with modern jack tracks that nod to Chicago’s tradition of making effective and fun tracks for the floor. These two tracks with a little jack nostalgia that will do the job! Mr Tyrell delivering in top form.
