L’oggetto – Dance Vol. 2 EP [MKDF005]

After the seminal Musica da Discoteca trilogy, L’oggetto continues his exploration of electronic music subcultures with Dance. This new series expands his research into the mutual connections between Italian and American sound cultures that gave birth to house music in the ’90s, while venturing into more introspective territories between Balearic beats, deep house, and techno. The new 12” EP, Dance vol.2, unfolds across four tracks that capture the night’s shifting moods and tempos, balancing collective euphoria with moments of personal transcendence.

Franck Roger – Exodus EP [SL116]

Franck Roger has been cooking up timeless, deep sounds for decades and right now he is in a superb run of form. Seasons Limited is where he lands next with more of his signature sounds. ‘Exodus’ opens with a fat, warped bassline and far-sighted chords that hark back to early Detroit. ‘Sokette’ is much more dusty and minimal, and again has echoes of artists like Omar-S from the Motor City. ‘Push It’ is a more elastic groove with some aching vocal hooks and diffuse chord work to make this perfect for the late-night sessions.

Franck Roger – Mind Games EP [SL114]

French deep house don Franck Roger returns to his tracky house roots with this latest drop on Seasons Limited. Kicking off is ‘Mind Games’, a swirling, peak-time house seducer built for late night floors and on the flip, ‘I Can Feel Ur Love’ stays deep but has a subtle skip to the kicks, while molten chords are draped over the beats and subtle vocal swirls marble the mood. ‘Gerkin Moods’ pays tribute to the legend Larry Heard, not just in title. It’s got real emotional depth and a deeply cosmic atmosphere.

Andy Ash – Silent Planet EP [QUINTESSE97]

Andy Ash is a long time contributor to the sound of Quintessentials. The Liverpudlian shows superb diversity on his new EP called „Silent Planet“. The opener, „Patch 2“ is a stripped down masterpiece of Dub Techno and a perfect club tool. „Hross“ can be called Acid House, and you know we love that. The B-side shows more of a relaxed vibe with the beautiful string-laded „Franco alley“ and the smooth low BPM track „Yellow“. This silent planet has something to say and shows great variety of styles and Andy’s skills as a producer.

Minimal Vision – Unreleased Chronicles [VIBR028]

Having previously reissued (and compiled) the early 90s work of cult Italian deep house duo Minimal Vision, the reactivated Vibraphone label has now decided to rummage through the pair’s archive of unreleased recordings. The result is this fine four tracker, which includes material recorded by the twosome at their home studio in Rome in 1990 and ’91 (pre-dating their two original EPs, which first landed in 1992 and ’93). There’s naturally loads to set the pulse racing, from the syn-tom heavy deep house beats, sustained chords and twinkling melodic motifs.
