Nite Vision is a project from Nigel Rogers aka Perseus Traxx and Mantra that moves around early US midwestern’s house music sounds with a dim twist – which results in analog drum machine patterns melting over moody floaty pads and obscure synth leads. Rogers returs to Ben Boe’s label with a solid 9-track LP named ‘The Time Is Now’.
“This ep written some year and one half ago at Beautiful Granville studio features 3 dance selections, which includes the title track, The Drapes in the Livingroom. Also presented in dance form is the very long awaited Shaquanda, which is often played in my live sets. Here, we have the original and first recording of the track. Last, I am presenting Bedroom Music, which is a track designed to be played in those private moments, as well as within nightclub confines. I simply hope that you’ll find the bump in this one.” Tevo Howard
The second appearance from Nigel Rogers aka Persues Traxx on Bunker Records, featuring more Deep Chicago style house vibes.
300 Degrees is a side project by IJO, dedicated to live electronic music made with vintage drum machines, synths and other analog gear. Recorded live as a part of a performance / improvisation between 2008 and 2010. Some of the tracks on this album have been previously released on “Napalm Enema Records” and “Cactus Island Recordings”.
Traxx aka Melvin Oliphant III returs to MOS Deep with a stunning solo-project. Under his The Poetic Painter M pseudonym he serves up ‘Marie’s Transcendance’ backed-up by two reworks from compadre Sean Hernandez aka Chicago Skyway and label owner Aroy Dee. ‘Marie’s Transcendance’ is a frenetic yet hypnotizing house track that echoes memories of downpitched Newbeat material and the hooky coldness of new wave. Melvin, though, re-defines rather than regurgitates these influences and re-launches them into a dark and moody acid-flecked future. Chicago Skyway reworks it into a deep, emotional just as acid-version which seems to float into eternity as solid 808-beat programming plays out busily behind. Aroy Dee edits a second rework of “Marie’s”, creating a simple but highly effective and bouncing track that’s carried along by a psychedelic, out-of-this-world bass line.
After several releases on Creme and M>O>S, Nation as well as collaborations as 2AMFM, Saturn V, X2 etc, here is D’Marc Cantu’s debut Album on Creme JAK.
Lux Rec brings out the latest work by Mathematics & HotMix artist Joe Drive, delivering a spaced out three track EP, from “Clone Replacement” dark funk mutations to the Drexciyan electro of “Crossing the Forbidden Planet”, landing eventually on “Saturn 15” hitech soul.
New release on Kinda Soul Recordings by mathematics artist Takeshi Kouzuki. 3 tracks on this new 12″ blending smooth acidic otherworldy sounds with classic Chicago influenced bouncy beats.
Bosconi Records presents a three tracker by Rocardo Miranda. Analogue pleasure and dancefloor goodness including the bouncy acid house groover “State Of Mind”, the dry and minimilastic Chicago rooted drum tool track called “Drum With The Funk”, and in the end the peaceful, dreamy and atmospheric trip of “No Sound”.
Two Dogs In A House is Steve Summers and Ron Morelli (L.I.E.S) meanest project to date. Rising from the delay saturated muck, pushing the red, straight forward and to the point with no time to waste, these Brooklyn dogs started with a simple modus operandi as to make effective, psychedelic tracks. This 12” is an statement by itself, sounding more experimental and raw, it evokes Chicago, Detroit, and Industrial Records equally.
Creme Organization presents some raw bangin, surf house from the no-cal beaches. Behind the name Seaside Houz Boyz is the genius of Legowelt aka Danny Wolvers.
Endless Flight announce two fantastic artists collaboration release of Dean Meredith (aka Chiken Lips) & Eric Duncan (Rub n Tug). A side, main version of Zoo-Ma-City is jackin Chicago house style track with a female voice sample. B side is a Dj tool beat version of a unique acid acapella.
